Columbia Road Flower Market

Flower market on Sundays only; the whole street fills with plants, traders' cries and little shops.

60 min£

The Victorian shops along the street open on Sundays and sell ceramics, antiques, art and coffee. The traders call out their wares loudly, especially towards the end, when prices drop. If you don’t want to buy anything, walk down the street and then turn into the quieter side streets. A small courtyard behind the shops, Ezra Street, has more stalls and cafés.
