Columbia Road Flower Market
A Sunday-only street of flower stalls, traders shouting prices and tiny shops.
Every Sunday morning the street fills with cut flowers and house plants, and the independent shops along it open just for the day. Go early for the calm or late for the bargains as traders clear stock. It is outdoors and packed, so a dry Sunday is the one to pick.
When it works
Outdoors: pick a dry day. Best morning, afternoon.
Good for a date, locals' favourite and groups.
