A place worth knowing

Columbia Road’s flower market turns a street of Victorian shops into a Sunday destination. Flowers and plants fill the market while the surrounding independent shops give the walk a second layer beyond the stalls.

Make room for browsing rather than treating it as a route to rush through. The market and the permanent shops keep different schedules, so Sunday is the day to plan around if the flower stalls are the reason for coming.
