Ward rules on fresh flowers vary, so a quick check with the hospital before ordering is a good idea. The next-day cut-off is 5:15pm Monday to Friday and 10:45am on Saturdays and Sundays. Each bouquet comes with a 7 day freshness guarantee, and the flowers are sent in bud so they open after arrival. Located on Barley Lane in the Goodmayes area of Ilford, King George Hospital serves the communities of Redbridge, Barking and Dagenham, and parts of east London and Essex. With so many patients passing through its wards each week, a personal floral gift can make a real difference to morale and recovery. Please note that some wards at King George Hospital, particularly critical care and certain surgical units, may restrict fresh flowers for infection control reasons. It is worth checking with the ward before ordering, or choosing one of the beautiful potted plant alternatives or chocolate and gift hampers if flowers are not permitted.
