Such a shame Nick, but living round the corner, I know this is a tricky area.  One of the pulls is the Spencer, especially in the summer.  Could she not go and offer flowers on the Common near the Spencer?  Just an idea, good luck to her.

I do think that’s a very good idea and one I have suggested to her Bunny a few times. I even suggested doing it with my kids on her behalf and might do when holiday season over. Gratis of course!

Unfortunately the location is not ideal for a florist. Very little passing trade as there's little housing beyond that parade of shops. The other end of the LLR would be a different story, lots of people on their way home from the stations. I wish her all the best though. Always sad to see an independent business fail.

Suggested Spencer & other local pubs & eateries too & the new Putney Hotel I purchase flowers almost every week but it’s obvious you can’t just rely on passing trade

Bought 5 lovely stems there today. Katie seemed to think that things might pick up in September as many florists lose trade over the summer season. When I asked about weddings, as I know they're a good source of trade for florists she said that funerals were keeping her going! Not quite sure what to make of that?
