The Columbia Rd flower market in Shoreditch is a wonderful lively market open every Sunday 8am to 2pm. It's origins go back to 1869 first established as a food market. Its Sunday only trading was brought about by an act of Parliament in order to accommodate the local Jewish traders. Now there are over 30 flower & plant stalls, lots of cafes and shops selling art, bric a brac, furniture and all sorts of wonderful things. Its great to get there close to closing if you want really fantastic bargains as the stall holders are all loudly competing to sell off what ever they have left.Monday, April 21, 2008
