Short answer: most London florists stop taking same-day orders between 1 pm and 5 pm. Floritta accepts them until 10 pm, seven days a week. Below are the cut-off times six London florists publish on their own delivery pages, checked on 28 August 2026, and an explanation of why the deadline sits where it does.
What is a flower delivery cut-off time?
The cut-off is the latest moment a florist will accept an order for delivery on the same day. Place the order a minute before it and the bouquet goes out today; a minute after and it moves to the next available date. It is the one number that decides whether a last-minute gift arrives tonight or tomorrow, and it is usually the number a delivery page buries at the bottom.

What is the latest cut-off for same-day flower delivery in London?
10 pm, at Floritta. Orders placed before 10 pm London time are hand-tied in our studio in SE1 and delivered the same day, seven days a week, subject to courier availability in your area. Bouquets start at £39, delivery is £7.99, and delivery is free on orders from £99. There is no separate express fee for ordering late.
Why do most London florists stop taking same-day orders at midday?
Two reasons, and neither is laziness. The first is flowers: most London shops buy at New Covent Garden Market in the early morning, so an afternoon order has to be built from what is already in the bucket. The second is couriers: a florist that hands its deliveries to a third-party courier network has to meet that network’s collection run, and the last collection of the day is usually early afternoon.
The second constraint is the one we designed around. Floritta runs its own courier team out of the studio at Unit 3, The Willows, 80 Willow Walk, London SE1 5SY, so the last run of the evening is ours to schedule rather than someone else’s to miss. That is the whole mechanism behind a 10 pm cut-off — not a premium service tier, just a shorter chain between the studio and the door.
Do cut-off times change on Sundays?
At Floritta the 10 pm cut-off applies seven days a week, Sundays included. Elsewhere it varies: Interflora states it cannot offer same-day delivery on Sundays or bank holidays, FLOWERBX and The Flower Shop London publish Monday-to-Saturday cut-offs, and Flower Station keeps its 5 pm deadline on Sundays.
What happens if I miss the cut-off?
Nothing dramatic — the order simply moves to the date you choose at checkout. You pick the delivery date and time slot yourself, so an order placed at midnight for a birthday next Tuesday arrives next Tuesday rather than tonight.
How long does flower delivery outside London take?
Two to three working days to the rest of the UK. Same-day delivery and the 10 pm cut-off are London only: outside London the bouquet travels by courier, and the timing depends on the network rather than on our own team.
How much does flower delivery cost?
£7.99, in London and across the UK, and free on orders from £99. Ordering at 9.50 pm costs exactly the same as ordering at 10 in the morning.
