Maybe put plants out in car park with honesty box/donations. They can take some money and people can get plants to use at home or maybe road side or some public spaces if done safely. Else plants are going to be dumped and grower gets nothing.
Local traders - can they sell vouchers to maintain income and honour later? The presumes they will remain in business later.

Central London may be different to the rest of country. If staff are commuting in or living in dorms and eating in canteens it's very different to hospitals away from centre of town where staff are more spread out and don't squeeze into tube trains to travel in and out of work.
GOSH is also in an area with other hospitals all around it - National Hospital for Neurology, Homeopathic and Italian hospitals are all in same area.

B&Q for example are not open to walk around and browse (at least my local stores are not) you have to order on their website, pay online and then they will offer a click and collect service from their car park

It's got nothing to do with being a police state, it's about minimising the spread of the virus.
If people want to chat to friends then use whatsapp or facetime etc.
if people are going out to shop for essentials thats what they're there to do. not stand around chatting to mates (even if it is at the 2m distance)
Unfortunately, life is not meant to be normal right now.
