Columbia Road Flower Market & Covent Garden
Book NowColumbia Road flower market and shops are open on Sundays from 8am until 3'ish come rain, wind or shine and even on Easter Sunday. Columbia Road is in the East End sitting on the edge of the city with Shoreditch to the west and Brick Lane and Spitalfields nearby. On Sunday the street is transformed into an oasis of foliage and flowers. Everything from bedding plants to 10 foot banana trees are up for grabs. A lot of the flower sellers grow their own plants or import flowers from around the world. It is one of the few streets in the country composed of sixty independent shops. Small art galleries sit next to cup cake shops, vintage clothes stores, English and Italian delis, garden and antique shops. After our visit we go on to famous Covent Garden for the boutiques, cafes, bars and an eclectic mix of entertainment.
