Columbia Road Flower Market
The best thing to do in London on a Sunday morning, BY FAR. Flowers, flowers and more flowers, food, fun and frolics. The stalls open early and finish by one-ish. Trust us, just go.

Flower Market, Wroclaw, Poland
Flower Market, Wroclaw, Poland
Wroclaw's Old Town is not only it's historical centre but also today's social and cultural centre.
Adjoining the Market Square is the equally beautiful Plac Solny (Salt Market). Many a nobleman built his mansion on this prime spot and today you can admire their colourful facades whilst perusing the picturesque flower market that trades on the square itself.
