The Columbia road flower market is one of my favorite places is London. A narrow street bounded from both sides with a bloom of various colors, full of happy people who managed to get their big bunch of flowers or still looking for their flower treat, loud sellers announcing something like three for fiver and musicians who set up the mood. What else to ask.But it gets even better – the flower market is surrounded with independent galleries and lovely shops each is a treat on its own. And it also has foodie places for tired shoppers. I would say that it is really a feast for all the senses on a Sunday morning.

Inside one of the shops I found those adorable vintage ink bottles. I think they would be a perfect vases.

Feel good and busy atmosphere with a vintage vibe is guaranteed, plus there is always a new pop up or a new exhibition, so it never gets boring. So, if you’re free one Sunday, I’d definitely recommend a visit. The market operates on Sundays only from 8am till 2pm. If you don’t like crowds, then make sure that you are there early, but bare in mind that best deals usually happen by the end of the day.

On the way to the tube I spotted this art object and fell in love.
