London has an abundance of flower markets full of beautiful blooms to bring happiness to your life.From cool hipster markets to hardcore night markets, we have listed our favourite instagrammable flower markets:
Colombia Road
Located between Old Street and Bethnal Green, this is without a doubt at the top of our list and is the most well-known flower market in the capital.
Tourists and Londoners flock on a Sunday to this narrow road lined with independent cafes, restaurants, shops and galleries. You can buy everything from hydrangeas to banana trees but go early for the best flowers or go late to bag a bargain.
Columbia Road, Hackney E2

New Covent Garden Market
Confused? After forty years, London’s most significant wholesale flower market relocated to Nine Elms. This is where florists come to get their flowers, so be warned you can only buy wholesale. Flowers spill out from all four corners, vendors bargain loudly and the air is filled with the heavenly scent of roses. An excellent place to go with a friend or two and split the flowers and split the cost to get a terrific deal. Be aware; the market opens its doors for business at 4 am!
Monday to Saturday 4 am to 10 am
New Covent Garden Market, SW8 5BH

This is not technically a flower market but it is one of Hackney’s trendiest curated spaces. It is host to an open kitchen, delis, wine bar and off-license, pop-ups, interiors and a wonderful mini flower market by Rebel Rebel, who boast Vogue, BBC, BAFTA, and Dior their clients. Their flowers are sensational, seasonal and they favour British where possible.
