Instead of seeing us as the best mythical online publishing powerhouse in Britain, recently people seem to be confusing us with a girl at Waterloo station with a ’can I help’ sash. The question at hand is how to get your hands on a Christmas tree, as the lovely Abraham over at Bouquets and Beans in Kennington Cross is not doing them this year. We’re sensing a middle class existential spasm about to happen here, and we’re on hand to help as we love you.
We can confirm that Windmill Flowers currently have a bevy of Christmas trees outside of their shop, and they can be found in Kennington Cross. Also, an oddly named outfit ‘Clickmas Trees’ is back in the churchyard at St. Mark’s church in Oval. Both places also stock Christmas accessories such as wreaths. If you know of any other places selling trees please put them in the comments section, as frankly we need to move on with our lives.
Never mind the middle-class existential threat. What impact is this having on our house prices? And when will we get a Waitrose?

Jonty,
We feel your pain. Cutting down a mature tree in order got have 4 weeks of visual glory is indeed a right, and we’re here to help.
I’m not after a mature tree. Even the high ceilings of my vast Georgian house on Kennington Road couldn’t accommodate one of those. A young infant tree, ripped from the care of its mother’s roots, is all I crave. So thanks for the tips.
By the way, you might have spotted that those kind council folk over in Southwark have recently planted a giant Sequoia near the entrance to Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park. Less than 2 metres tall now, it will eventually grow to over 100. Why won’t Lambeth rise to the challenge and replace all the boring plane trees in the borough with something equally spectacular?
