Columbia Road Flower Market in East London - a special Sunday outing

If you're in London for the weekend, where better to head than Columbia Road flower market in the up-and-coming East End on a Sunday morning? Today is overcast, but the flower-laden stalls will brighten your day, as will all the unusual shops in the area. The market takes place every Sunday from 08.00-14.00 and it costs nothing to look. Definitely worth a visit! I came home with armfuls of flowers, costing just a fraction of what you'd pay elsewhere.
