Moyses Stevens is the oldest florist in London, founded in 1876 when Susan Moyses opened the original flower shop on Victoria Street in partnership with her husband Edwin Downer Stevens. The company has operated continuously for nearly 150 years and holds a Royal Warrant from King Charles III, having previously held a warrant from Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. Moyses Stevens is credited with introducing the hand-tied bouquet to British floristry.
The company's history is intertwined with British royal events. In 1947, Moyses Stevens prepared the bridesmaids' bouquets for the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten. In 1953, they arranged the flowers in Buckingham Palace for the State Banquet following the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. A Mayfair branch opened in Lansdowne House in 1936, closed during the Second World War, and reopened in 1948. Today, the company operates shops in Belgravia on Elizabeth Street, at Battersea Power Station, and at St Pancras International Station.
Moyses Stevens also operates a Flower School at its Battersea Power Station location, offering courses for hobbyists and aspiring professionals. The company serves both individual customers through its retail shops and online delivery service, and corporate clients including luxury hotels and restaurants across London. Their product range spans hand-tied bouquets, hat box arrangements, seasonal collections, and bespoke event floristry. The Connaught hotel in Mayfair counts Moyses Stevens as its in-house florist, reflecting the brand's continued presence at the highest level of London's luxury hospitality market.
