5th Avenue Flowers

About 5th Avenue Flowers

5th Avenue Flowers is an independent florist at 7 Queen Street on Newcastle's Quayside, tucked in below the Tyne Bridge and a few minutes from the Guildhall. The shop handles everyday hand-tied bouquets and plants as well as the bigger commissions, covering weddings, funeral tributes, corporate and event work, and delivery across Newcastle and Gateshead. The buying policy leans on seasonal and fair-trade suppliers where possible, with English-grown flowers used in season, and arrangements are wrapped in brown paper rather than cellophane. There is a second shop at Team Valley in Gateshead, but Queen Street is the city centre branch and the one most walk-in customers use.

The business has been established on the Quayside for well over a decade and has been assessed and approved by the Masterflorist organisation, as well as picking up Silver Awards for Excellence in the Flower Council of Holland's flower shop of the year scheme. In practice that shows in the finish of the work rather than in the shop's manner, which is straightforward and used to short-notice requests. Its position on the Quayside makes it a convenient stop for anyone working in the legal and office quarter around Broad Chare and Sandhill, and orders can be placed by phone or through the shop's website.
