Lillians
City-centre floristry at the top end of Sauchiehall Street.

Sauchiehall Street has spent two decades being redesigned, pedestrianised, damaged by fire and rebuilt, and the businesses still standing at the end of it have earned a certain respect. Lillians sits at the upper end near Garnethill, and it functions as a city-centre workhorse florist. Office deliveries, hotel orders, hospital runs, and the passing trade of a street that still carries very large numbers of people.
The floristry is classical rather than fashionable, which suits a customer base that is often buying for a professional context. It covers the full occasion range including sympathy work. The nearby Glasgow Royal Infirmary and city-centre hotels shape a lot of what a shop in this position does day to day, and that specialism is worth knowing about if that is what you need.
Best for
Office and hotel deliveries; anything you need collected on foot in the city centre.
What I would order
A formal arrangement in a vase rather than a wrapped hand-tie, if it is going to a desk or a reception.
Worth knowing
Directory listings are inconsistent on hours and even on the precise unit. Confirm by phone before travelling.
Survived every reinvention Sauchiehall Street has been put through.
Who it is not for
Anyone who wants a loose, garden-style arrangement. The house idiom is classical and it suits the customers it serves.
How it compares
For contemporary design a short walk east, Flowers by Suzy Liu is the city-centre alternative.
Getting there
Upper Sauchiehall Street, close to Charing Cross rail station and Cowcaddens subway.
