Clarkes Florist in Furzedown to close

We’re sad to share the news that Clarkes Florist at 72 Moyser Road in Furzedown will permanently close at the end of May.

The Clarkes family have been trading there for over 50 years, with Wendy (pictured) having run the business for the last 30 years. The family also ran the greengrocers which used to trade at number 70.

Wendy tells us, “A significant rent increase means that we can no longer afford to rent the property.”

Wendy has plans to start a mobile pop-up florists later this year, and has launched a Crowdfunder to help fund the new business. You can find out more HERE.

There will also be a farewell party with Wendy in April, for neighbours and customers to mark the closure of this much loved local shop – Wendy will confirm the date in due course.

📍 72 Moyser Rd, SW16 6SQ
