History
The Florian Lady Singers was founded in the early 1930s. The group of singers competed in and won many local and national competitions. The choir was conducted by John Booth and then by Doctor Durrant. It became an adult edcuation class which met at the West Hill Institute. The choir had other conductors following the retirement of Doctor Durrant but closed in the 1950s. Mollie Simmonds was a member of the choir from the 1930s until its closure. Following the closure of the choir, she joined the Balham Townswomen's Guild choir. She also played the cello in the West Hill Orchestra, the Wandsworth Symphony Orchestra and the Putney Symphony Orchestra.
