Bustling Sunday street market with vibrant flowers, plants, and shops

































"Come Sunday morning, this flower market makes the city feel briefly, improbably small." - Paul Jebara

"Each Sunday, the street bursts with florists selling sweet-smelling blooms, from tulips and roses to cacti and even 10-foot banana trees, sourced by seasoned traders who grow their own or import from around the world. Prices are fair, but I haggle for end-of-day bargains and refuel at the independent cafés tucked just behind the stalls." - Connor Sturges


"I often choose Columbia Road Flower Market on a Sunday for its lively atmosphere and abundant blooms." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

"Put that sad family pack of Kitkats away because this Hackney bakery are delivering their white chocolate choux, vegan banana loaf, and a whole lot of other sweet treats across Hackney and London. You’ll need to give them 24 hours notice, but slide on into their DMs or give them a call on 07477462072 to order. By the way, they also do sandwiches and quiche." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
