Opening times 9am to 3pm evey Sunday or by appointment

Our shop is open on Sunday in the old Jewish flower market. Columbia Road is situated in the East End with Shoreditch to the west, Brick Lane, Spita Fields and the City to the south. It is part of the East End of London that escaped being bombed during the war and retains a Dickensian mood. It is often used as a film location.

On Sunday the street is transformed into oasis of foliage and flowers. Everything from bedding plants to 10 foot banana trees are up for grabs. The air is intense with the scent of flowers and the chant of the barrow boys “Everthin a fiver”. There are a variety of shops that line the market pot shops, antique shops, art galleries, food shops, as well as great independent cafes and pubs.

Parking isn’t problem as long as you park on the north side of the Hackney Road avoiding Tower Hamlets. Beware; it is reach pickings for traffic wardens on a Sunday. Otherwise there are train and underground services at Liverpool Street and Old Street.

The buses are the 26 from Waterloo to Hackney Wick, the 48 from Walthamstow to Leyton via London Bridge and the 55 from Oxford Circus to Leyton. They all stop opposite Columbia Road along the Hackney Road. But throw away your A to Z, follow your nose, your ears and walk in the opposite direction of the swaying, staggering 10ft trees.
