Columbia Road Flower Market

Far from being a secret anymore Columbia Road has becoming a bit of a place to be on a sunday morning or in my case afternoon (after all sundays are for sleeping in right?!). This because every sunday from 8 am onwards this little street in the heart of Hackney gets transformed into a wonderful flower market. Its not only the beautiful flowers and hugely entertaining traders that rather enthusiasitally and loudly try and flog their good and go down with their prices as the day goes on ( for a real bargain come around 2) but the great people watching that can be done here. Full of colourful character of all ages and surrounded by orchids and roses its a great place to have a walk around  and has become a firm part of my sunday wonder around town!
