Columbia Road Flower Market

To dispel the winter gloom, I've uploaded some photos taken earlier this year of the colourful Sunday flower market in Columbia Road, Bethnal Green.

 

A quiet street of Victorian houses during the week, Columbia Road comes alive on Sundays when the flower market takes over between 8am and 2pm. Many of the small shops also open on the day, adding to the atmosphere which also spills over into adjoining streets. It's very busy, so go early to avoid the crowds - or late to seek out bargains.
