Only my second time at this fantastic flower market, but I think that’s due to it’s out of the way location about 20 minutes from Old Street tube station. I remember coming here in September on a mild autumn day wondering how on earth this could possibly be open all year. But sure enough, i’m here in january, I suppose what could be considered the middle of winter, and it’s fully open. I should note it’s mild out and the rain from the early morning has stopped.
The prices are amazing here. 20 tillups for 5 pounds, 3 stems of giant orchids for 6 pounds (those orchids should be be about 19 dollars on the avenue road flower shops in Toronto)
I also stopped into a unfortunetely named coffee shop called The Flea Market before heading over to the spitalfields market to meet up with my friend Adrienne for lunch.
I wish the Columbia flower market was more conveniently located, I’d go more often.
