Review:
Columbia Road Flower Market has been a tradition since the early 20th century, originally founded as a Saturday trading market in London's Bethnal Green, just off Hackney Road within the borough of Tower Hamlets. The market has been operated on Sundays for decades following an Act of Parliament meant to accommodate city's Jewish traders, enjoying a resurgence of popularity since the 1960s. Today, it operates each week from 8:00am to 2:00pm, known for its artisan flower, food, and accessory stalls operated by second and third-generation traders. Plants, shrubs, bulbs, and fresh-cut flowers are sold at competitive prices, making it a popular stop for flower buyers and photographers. Alongside flower stalls, other vendors sell everything from Buddhist artifacts and international pantry goods to handmade soaps, candlesticks, and perfumes.
