I came here just before Lunar New Year 2022 to find some kind of flowers that are typical for Lunar New Year in Vietnam: cherry blossoms, lily, etc. And I am so happy that I found them all. The atmosphere is so refreshing and joyful. The market only takes place on Sunday morning so make sure that you wake up early to avoid the crowds and find some bargains.

I was stunned to see such a huge flower and plants market. Many varieties of flowers and plants at reasonable cost! Just few minutes walk from Broadway Market. Some shops really have great bargains. I went on Sunday around 2pm which was the closing time of market and there were some extended bargains before they close! Must if you want to buy variety of plants for house or garden

Seasonal flowers, huge selections and fresh bouquets. Lovely Sunday morning and good atmosphere. Cute shops and great people around. Also recommend for people who plan to get plants for their house - inside or for the garden - outside.

The Columbia Road Flower Market is open on Sundays. It is so pretty to just walk around. So many cheap flowers/plants/anything you want, it is there. Some places take cash, some take card. Would recommend going here if you need some cheap flowers for your garden, plants for your house, etc.

It's my happy place that I love visiting 2 or times a year! Fantastic place to visit for indoor and outdoor plants at a really great value! There are really cute boutique home, kitchen ware, fashion stores, cafes and restaurants as well. It does get quite crowded so it isn't a place I would recommend bringing babies and small children. A must for plant lovers!💖💖💖👌👌👌

Beautiful flowers. The scent from just walking around is relaxing. Prices are fair. Worth a visit on Sunday mornings (open only Sundays)

In a sunny summer day, I can't think of something that beats walking around the flower market. Good coffee, some of the cutest dogs, lots of families, that good neighborhood community vibe. All that is good and well, but those aren't the highlights, the plants are. Beautiful, exuberant, a multitude of fragrances filling the air. I felt like buying the whole place. But I eventually came to my senses, realized I don't have that big of a place, settled down to some gorgeous flowers on a bouquet and went back home with a sense of joy. Plants can have that kind of effect on us.

Alway popular on Sundays. Can get very crowded so either come early or wait til after 2pm. Coffee shops sell lots of fresh cakes, bagels and hot food but again expect to queue during busy times.

Gets crowded but still nice. It's very peaceful and the vibe is chill. Find the ice cream cart at the end of the road and get the best treat for £2 from a lovely gentleman.

Opened only Sunday but is a blast hype place to go if you are plants and flowers lovers, also planty of hipster shops to get inspired ... it closes at 2pm so for early morning ones !

Open on a Sunday, the market is a beautiful place to look at a range of cut flowers, house and potted plants. The peonies below are available in June and it’s rare to see such large and vibrant ones. As you hit afternoon, the prices of cut flowers will fall as venders pack up, so while people recommend getting there early to avoid crowds, you may end up staying till closing to get a good price.

such a lovely place filled with pretty plants for good prices, friendly sellers and generally a great atmosphere. definitely gets busy so would recommend going earlier!

A lovely and quirky place with a wonderful selection of flower bunches and potted plants at a reasonable cost. Lots of cafés in the area. The market takes place only on Sundays from 8 to 2pm. Make sure to come earlier to avoid crowds. Credit cards accepted.

Good experience on a Sunday morning/noon. There are a variety of flower shops that give you happy vibes just by looking at them. The place is usually very crowded in the afternoon so advising you to explore the street in the mornings if you do not like crowds or would like to take some great photos. There are some fun activities like singing that you might enjoy if you are lucky but overall it is quite a nice street to visit.

Absolutely lovely! Great variety of plants all at a super affordable price. Sourrounded by lovely shops with more plants, decoration and furniture. Great place

To visit, if you like expensive flowers and crowds, is only one day a week and only few hours.. I cannot ask myself if would not be a better idea to find a place to have it 2-3 days or a whole weekend at least. cutting off the crowd and the rush. But there are here and there some bargains to have.. if you are patient. To try, at least once!

The market is lovely but too crowded, we had to squeeze and walk very slowly. I could barely breathe… but the flowers and the plants were beautiful and fresh. We ended up buying too many of them and we took Uber home lol

BEST PLACE TO GO TO ON A SUNDAY BETWEEN 9 AM TO 3 PM! Amazing shopping deals for vintage & aesthetic decor for home. Ofc, the variety of flowers and other gardening tools is infinite. Do remember to purchase lavender seeds to naturally scent your clothes (only 2.5 GBP per pouch). I will come here as I am a morning person and I love to spend time searching for unique home accessories (and gifts too)!

A must visit for a nice leisurely walk, enjoying the flowers and the smells. A bit of the beaten path but packed with colour, smells, Flowers of all sizes and species, and lots of botanicals at very good prices. Several artisan and curiosity shops. Lots of coffee places and some pubs nearby. Tends to get very crowded. Visit to upgrade the green feel of your place. Bring big sturdy carrier bags as it is some distance from underground stations.

The flower market is pleasant enough and there is a plethora of independent and artisan shops on Colombia Road trading to all the beautiful people that hang out here, the wealth spills down to Hackney to show the superficial attraction of successful gentrification. Lots of flowers and plants, fortunately not as maddeningly busy as usual due to covid but, as my friend remarked "the yuccas are cheaper in Lidl"!

Lovely as always, lots of people but plenty flowers for everyone 😊

Lovely flowers and apart from that Lots of young people here with no face masks. It is nearly impossible to Social distance here so if you do visit maybe considered wearing a mask to protect yourself.

Columbia Road Flower Market is a true gem and easily one of the best experiences of my trip! The sheer beauty and vibrancy of this market create a floral paradise that's hard to put into words. From the moment you step into the market, you're surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors and fragrances. The variety of flowers and plants is simply breathtaking, and each stall is a testament to the passion and artistry of the vendors. Whether you're a flower enthusiast or just looking for a unique and picturesque experience, Columbia Road Flower Market is an absolute must-visit. It's not just a market; it's a celebration of nature's beauty that will leave you with lasting memories.

Colombia Road Flower Market is a vibrant oasis in the heart of London. The lively atmosphere, filled with the fragrance of blooming flowers, makes it a delightful experience. The market's diverse selection of plants and flowers caters to every taste and occasion. Strolling through the narrow street, surrounded by bustling stalls and enthusiastic vendors, creates a unique and charming shopping experience. While it can get crowded, especially on weekends, the energy and variety of blooms make it well worth a visit for any flower enthusiast or those looking to brighten their day with a burst of color.

Loved loved loved this market! Unfortunately was only visiting for the weekend so couldn't buy anything before my international flights etc, but if you live close by you absolutely must go to get some flowers and new plants for your home. Great priced beautiful selection from all vendors.

🌱 I have wanted to buy plants for my home for a long time. And finally I was able to go here on a Sunday. 💃🏻 It was a plant and flower paradise! 🪴 I bought myself four plants. I would have bought more if I knew I could carry it😄I paid £29 in total for four plants. My plants have names. Aphrodite, Lena, Olivia and Lavinia 🌱😂 Anyway, if you want to buy plants for your home, you should definitely go here. It is not expensive and there is a lot of variety.🌸

Still great. Really turned into an attraction after years. Really buzzing with the flowers and plants, mostly plants these days, down one side of the road with shops down the other. Lots to choose from. Decent prices too.

If you live in London, you should definitely take advantage of the phenomenal flower market every Sunday and Wednesday evening and especially around Christmas , where you can purchase trees and other holiday plants at terrific prices. We purchased lots of bags of lavender that will make our luggage smell wonderful!

Not quite sure why, but on my latest visit there were only stalls on one side of the street. Possible economic impact? Still many bargains to be had though, so we'll worth visiting to bring some colour into your homes amidst the approaching autumn gloom.

Great place to get plants and flowers! If you stay till late you might get better deals!

Excellent place to get your flowers. I went for photo opportunities, but still a great day. Despite there being food places every fourth shop, every place was packed, and the queue for oysters! Wow!! Art, craft and antique shops, a small market in a courtyard and a sculpture plaster cast craftsman. Incredibly busy and funny watching people trying to navigate the crowd with pot plants bigger than them.

Changed since my last visit, although I enjoy the market,don't like changes ( stalls on one side of street, now. Before it was two)

Do you live flowers so Columbian street flower Market is for you it’s amazing and if you need something to drink you have amazing food stores there to

Open every Sunday. Great place to visit for plants and flowers of all descriptions.

What a charming local hub. So many people happily strolling home with bundles of fresh flowers, plants or herbs. A nice stretch of quaint shops and bakeries line the street. So much character surrounding the market. Definitely worth the visit.

Good selection of flowers, especially if you’re looking for something particular. I used to go mid afternoon but it’s simply too busy. Around 10am is manageable.

Columbia Road Flower Market is a vibrant gem located in the heart of East London. The market is open every Sunday. There is a wide range of plants and flowers available. Some places accept only cash and some accept both cash and card payments. Also, going around 2pm can sometimes lead to discounts or deals. There are local cafes and shops selling everything from antiques to artisanal food. It can get quite crowded, especially during peak hours.

I absolutely love this place. Probably one of my favourites in London that is free to visit. Cafés around are open. Fresh flowers.

One of my favourite Sunday markets with bargains galore! I love buying plants and I find going around 3pm is best as you might not get first pick, but you do save lots of money. In this review, I've written about two visits - one in November and the other in December. It should give you an idea of what you xan buy and prices. In November, I bought 2 small lavender plants for £5, 3 x 6 packs of plugs of violas and pansies for £5, a bromelian & cyclamen for £5 and a hydrangea for £5 and a baby money plant for £1. This might be one of the best batches of plants I've bought in ages. The hydrangea is still thriving in December, a month later, although one of my lavenders and the hydrangea which were indoors were attacked by aphids so I've repotted them outside a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure if the pansies, violas and bromelian will last much longer. The money tree is also doing brilliantly. A few traders only accepted cash. Some traders are really friendly. Others can get grumpy - one of them didn't like me seeing how long the rose stems were. It was hard work getting it all home. 😝 My plants have cheered me up as it's so cold and grey. I highly recommend this as a winter tonic. I did a YT short last year when I first started going to CRFM. I was so excited and still am about this place. The photographs and video at the market are from the December visit. My balcony was very flowery and colourful for November. I hope I can keep it bright and cheerful this year. I visited again on December 3 and it is super Christmassy.🎄🎄🎄 I bought a small tree for £2.50. It was marked at £5 and when we got there after 12.30, he was selling 2 for £5. Another lady wanted one too and the stall seller didn't mind us buying it together, and even gave me change so we could. It really made my day! I also bought dried lavender for £5, the cheapest I've seen it, and a cyclamen plant for £2. All three are now on my dining table. I feel like going to Columbia every week for the next few months. 🤣

Great display of plants and flowers

Lovely place for a plant addict. Variety of flowers and plants available. Do visit early in the morning to have the best experience as it tends to get crowded soon.

It’s very nice to have a walk on Sunday morning!! A lot of beautiful flowers here. Along the road also have a lot of cafes and cute shops for shopping.

The best place in London to buy flowers. It’s best to get there super early-like 6am if you want the best bunches. It’s loud and rich in history too. Loads of cafes nearby to stop for coffee and breakfast

Really charming place, and everything sold for a good price. Only downsides are it's very busy, so the shops and cafés are all full, and the market is a lot smaller than you'd assume. I was expecting it to take a while to get round, but we were done after less than 40 minutes.

Bustling and busy, go early to avoid the crowds or late to bag a bargain. The stall holders have an array of bouquets, house plants, trees, garden foliage, seeds, bulbs, dried flowers and grasses and the shops that align the market are crammed with pots, decorations and trinkets alike. Prices are fair but especially good on house plants in my opinion, just wishing you good luck taking your new 10ft monsterra home on the tube!

My favorite market in town! Lots of different flowers and plants for a good price. Lovely stores along the road and great coffee shops :)

Cannot give enough starts! I absolutely LOVE Columbia road flower market. Filled with flower stalls, very cute shops and cafes in the corner. a Sunday very well spent!

Awesome you can find all flowers what you want

A lovely market to check out if you need any flowers or plants. The area around it is lovely as well, lot's of cute coffeeshops.

Love it!

Super crowded, and recently no social distancing or mask use at all which is a shame. Columbia Road is gorgeous and the products sold are beautiful as well, it’s just a shame there seems to be no adherence to any of the Covid-relates guidelines.

Always a joy 9/10

Great Sunday.

Mostly closed at the moment, but always awesome.

Too many people not wearing masks not enjoyable due to covid 19

Great place and great price

Great mood, at least when the weather is good. Fits well at the end of a weekend getaway to get some flowers before heading back to the airport. Cash preferred.

Great social distancing in the market today. V happy with the Christmas plants. Shop local through these tough times

Great place to go, but really NOT covid safe!

Amazing..like it. Road map become crazy area.

Nice to mingle amongst people in a socially respectful kind of way. Although there is a good variety of plants and there is something affordable for everyone, I felt there were too many similarities in the stock that the sellers offered, much of which can be acquired at your local Homebase or B&Q for significantly less. However, the quality of the plants was excellent throughout, you will not get this quality at a chain store, nor would you get access to the knowledge that these sellers/growers have.

An amazing Sunday market with a great range of plants available. Such a great atmosphere created by brilliant sales people on every stall.

So much better now with social distancing and one way rule. Plus its not filled with tourist's browsing. I think the stall holders are able to sell more as well.

When you are in London, Columbia Road Flower Market is definately well worth a visit. Someplace a little different to visit on a Sunday, have a lovely wander around the stalls and shops. From so much beautiful flowers on display to buy, to plants, a wander around the independant shops and stalls to a spot of brunch! Go and see what flowery delights await you. Great for those that love to brighten their lives with flowers!

Visited on a sunny Sunday morning. Very busy, bustling vibrant market. Large selection of flowers on offer. Lots of decent street food and live music available off the main road if you get hungry. Caught some pigeons dining on a slice of pizza around the corner, so if you are a pigeon looking to dine around here, then East London is your best bet.

Vibrant. Really lovely flower/plants. Quaint little shops. Adhering to the requirements of the current virus.

I love this place! The feeling of nostalgia every time I pass the mosaiced school gates. Not much changed over the years but the people. Very diverse and quirky. Not forgetting great affordable plants and potters on sale.

Covid19 has definitely made this smaller and less stalls in place but still a great place to get cheap plants

Got here at noon today. There is a long line to get into the market! I guess this is because of the social distancing measures.. we decided to skip going there.. if you plan to visit, get there earlier in the day.

Crazy selection of plants, hillarious people on the markets.

Amazing market best place to buy ur cheap plants! They accept cash and cards. You can also try to negotiate!

Amazing market! beautiful flowers, huge variety and great prices. I would definitely recommend it. 😊👍

Great place and atmosphere, love collecting plants

Would always recommend! Cheap plants, expert florists to help give you advice, and an arrange of foliage. If you want to add some green to your house I suggest spending an hour or two here. It’s open during COVID, but get there early as the queue is massive!!! Also, bring a box/IKEA bag, or be prepared to get an Uber home as you’ll likely buy more than you planned to

Great prices and very friendly stall owners

Lovely flower stalls. Indie shops coffee and mulled wine. Some of the shops a little over the top with prices but was nice

I love this market

Beautiful. Reasonable prices if you look everywhere. Wide range of plants and flowers. I highly recommend the orchid only stall. Not too busy at 10 am today. In summer, get there early.

A place to have breakfast and get fresh flowers. Beautiful!

Be aware that the qué to get to the market is enormous. To be fair is move pretty fast but u might need to spend 15-25 min before even getting access.

Busy with a long queue so make sure to get there early, although the deals towards closing time are worth it also

Excellent boutique shops, restaurants & coffee.

Longing to visit again when I get home from the UAE.

It was closed even though it said it was open!

For original flowers I do came here.

I cannot imagine a single person that hates the Columbia Road flower market.

Tell me what you think about the love you primer and 90
