Columbia Road Flower Market

Every Sunday Columbia Road is transformed into an explosion of colour by the weekly flower market that takes place between 10 am and 4pm.

If you want to buy yourself or a loved one some flowers then this is the place to go; you can buy cheap but beautiful flowers from east end traders, trees, herbs, exotic plants and flowers of every description or you can just soak up the atmosphere in this oasis of nature situated just off Shoreditch High Street.

In addition to the flowers there is also a fantastic flea market, great food for sale, exquisite shops and cafes, musicians on the streets and a whole lot more to take in...Columbia Road is a place that is worth finding as it really is a gem of a Sunday morning/afternoon expedition.

You can also take part in the Photographic project 'The Sunday Shoots'. The project is the creation of photographer Seamus Ryan. Each Sunday Ryan invites visitors to the Flower Marker to be part of his ongoing portrait project, each week there is a new theme, shoots take place between 10 am and 3pm, no booking is required so take a look.
