Flowers Delivered In Limehouse


There might seem like an obvious connection between the flower delivery Limehouse customers receive, and the floral origins of the area's name, but in fact it is unlikely that the 'lime' in this sense is of the fruit variety. Instead, the word derives from the oast houses historically used to produce quicklime in the region. From 'lime oasts' to 'Lymhostes' and, later, 'Limehouse' as we know it today, the name is much more mineral than floral in its beginnings.

In an area with plenty of maritime connections over the years though, there is a popular alternative derivation for the name, although it is likely to be incorrect - many people think it relates to 'limeys', the nickname given to sailors in the Royal Navy due to their diet of vitamin-rich lime juice. It is perhaps a more evocative idea than the old quicklime oasts, and it's easy to see why people might choose to believe it. Either way, with next-day flower delivery Limehouse residents don't need to be in any doubt that their bouquet will arrive promptly and in good condition when it is needed.
