Columbia Road Flower Market

Location:Columbia Rd, London E2 7RG, United Kingdom
Website

Facts:
"The Flower market began as a Saturday trading market, but as the Jewish population grew a Sunday market was established. The Saturday market lapsed, but the Flower market evolved. Initially this serviced the local population many of whose houses have small gardens. Plants were brought by handcart from nearby market gardens in Hackney and Islington and market pitches were claimed on the day on the blow of a whistle. The whole area went into a decline in the 1970’s. Indeed demolition was mooted, but the locals fought back and the area and market were saved. Since the 1980’s the market has grown into one of international repute. Today a wide range of unusual shops complement it, turning the whole area into one of the most interesting shopping experiences to be had anywhere. "

Facts: 
- 6 locations
- "Ahh, good old Soho BC. Small but mighty, this is the cafe where it all began when we 

opened up on D'Arblay Street in 2005. In those days we didn't even serve eggs because 

(believe it or not) it didn't occur to us that a place called 'The Breakfast Club' would attract 

people looking for a fry-up, not just die-hard John Hughes fans! The cafe has grown with us and 

signs of all the good times can be found pinned to our walls on polaroid pictures from raucous 

staff night's out, notes scrawled on napkins and postcards from around the world."
