Confidence
Urban Jungle operates as a registered UK business (URBAN JUNGLE NURSERY LTD, company number 11374540, incorporated May 2018) with confirmed physical locations in Norwich and Beccles. The Royal Horticultural Society lists it as an active nursery offering mail order and exotic plants. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists show no malicious flags, and the domain has a clean reputation across all security feeds. The evidence package includes genuine customer reviews on Tripadvisor (3.7/5 from 182 reviews) and mentions on independent horticultural and lifestyle publications. However, an independent review aggregator shows mixed feedback (2.8/5 average) with some complaints about pricing, plant quality, and customer service — these are typical operational complaints rather than fraud indicators. The business has been operating for over 20 years with an active social media presence (13k+ Facebook likes), consistent with a legitimate independent retailer.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents as a functional e-commerce garden centre with product categories (trees, shrubs, Mediterranean plants, bamboo, palms, ferns), a cafe offering, trade customer section, and customer testimonials. The page loads properly with no phishing indicators, countdown timers, or credential-harvesting forms. Contact information includes 9 phone numbers but lacks a visible postal address and contact email on the page itself — typical for a multi-location business directing customers to call or visit in person.

Infrastructure

Domain registered 10,996 days ago (approximately 30 years), hosted on Google Cloud (IP 35.214.73.220) with zero abuse reports. SSL certificate valid via Let's Encrypt. No redirects, homoglyphs, or suspicious cross-domain behaviour detected. The domain age and clean hosting reputation are consistent with an established business.

Domain History

The domain urbanjungle.uk.com has been registered for three decades, far longer than typical for fraudulent sites. WHOIS privacy is disabled, showing legitimate business registration details. The company registration (11374540) dates to May 2018, aligning with the nursery's operational history.

Web Reputation

Royal Horticultural Society lists Urban Jungle as an active nursery with mail-order capability. Tripadvisor reviews (3.7/5, 182 reviews) and Bounce Magazine coverage confirm the business operates a physical garden centre and cafe. an independent review aggregator shows 14 reviews averaging 2.8/5, with complaints centring on pricing, plant quality, and service rather than fraud or scam behaviour. No scam reports, credential-harvesting incidents, or malware detections found in our research.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on urbanjungle.uk.com and not a lookalike like u-rbanjungle.uk.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on urbanjungle.uk.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • urbanjungle.uk.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 84/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. urbanjungle.uk.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 42 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • urbanjungle.uk.com is 30.1 years old, registered on 5/1/1996 through Instra Corporation Pty Ltd.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 95 antivirus engines in our malware network report urbanjungle.uk.com as clean.
  • No. urbanjungle.uk.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • urbanjungle.uk.com resolves to an IP operated by Google LLC in GB (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 9, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around urbanjungle.uk.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
