Columbia
Road Flower Market
|

Lined with chic boutiques, every Sunday this historic street fills with
a bright patchwork of hundreds of flower stalls. Columbia Road is the
capital's most colourful and sweet-smelling market. Flowers, shrubs,
bedding plants and other horticultural delights are all for sale. As
well as cut flowers, there are topiary trees, pot plants, hanging
baskets, bulbs and bouquets turning the street to blossom. The 52
stalls and surrounding shops sell everything to cater for that English
obsession - gardening. With most of the traders being based in Essex,
many of the plants and flowers are grown and produced locally. The
market is open from 8am to 2pm and there are plenty of attractive
cafes, pubs and authentic sea-food stalls where you can make a
pit-stop. If getting there by Tube, Old Street is the nearest station,
turn left on exit, walk along Old Street into Hackney Road and after
200 metres turn right into Columbia Road. You'll smell it before you
see it. |
