Visitors to Wimbledon Village are trying to stop a much-loved business from going under after 20 years

Emma and Tom Brockhurst’s Flower Stall, The Stand, opposite The Rose & Crown, is under threat of closure.

The pair say Merton Council has asked them to remove their kiosk from the pavement each night.

Although this is in accordance with their license, Emma and Tom say the request is unrealistic, as the kiosk is blocked in by bike racks. 

There’s also a telephone box, electric charging meters, a pizza van and traffic lights to contend with.

The Save Wimbledon Village Flower Stall Petition has launched online.

We’ve contacted Merton Council for comment.
