Every Sunday, 8am-3pm, along this narrow cobbled street, you can find over 50 market stalls and 30 shops selling flowers, and gardening supplies. It's a truly colorful experience.
About Columbia Road Flower Market
Thousands of gardeners visit Columbia Road Flower Market every Sunday to buy bulbs, plants and shrubs, and to see the exotic array of cut flowers.
Columbia Road Flower market is a street market operated by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. This tiny street gets really busy so go early for the best cut flowers. Even if you don't intend to buy any flowers, this market is great to visit as it is so colorful.
Most of the market traders are from Essex where they have their own nurseries to produce their own plants. Stock changes every week but expect to find cut flowers, herbaceous plants and shrubs, and an abundance of bedding plants.
Many of the shops that line Columbia Road and the nearby streets specialize in interior design, as well as gardening.
There are plenty of dining options in the area including seafood, English breakfasts and Spanish tapas.
