The Steeple Times
The Knightsbridge rose seller

The Knightsbridge rose sellerA well-known fixture each and every evening at Knightsbridge restaurants including San Lorenzo and Scalini during the 1990s and 2000s, the Knightsbridge rose seller was as renowned for her jolly smile and Mini as her full to the brim basket of flowers. With the arrival of the Qataris and the Russians her business sadly wilted.
