London Markets: Colombia Road Flower Market

This packed flower market is on one street and gets phenomenally busy.
It starts at around 8am on Sundays only and closes up around 1pm, so get
there early. Here you can buy everything from tiny cacti, bedding plants,
garden gnomes, terracotta pots to shrubs and palm trees. Close by there
are coffee shops, pubs, antiques shops, and restaurants so it is a great
place to browse on a Sunday, maybe buy some herbs and have lunch.

The market is in Columbia Road (between Gosset Street & the Royal
Oak pub), in Bethnal Green, E2. The nearest tube is Old Street tube/rail/
26, 48, 55 bus. Open 8am-1pm Sun; closed Mon-Sat.

Next month: Leadenhall Market
