Flower Market

[shoshntosh]

Has anyone been to the big flower market? Where is it and how early can one go? Thanks

Colombia Road. Hoxton is closest station so quick on the Overground. Opens at 8 on Sunday's.

You mean the New Covent Garden flower market? It opens at 4am, but I think the earliest I've gone is 7/8am as I didn't want to get in the way of trade (assuming I would??). Anyway, had an enjoyable and leisurely experience when I went later in the morning. Maybe not ALL the stalls were open, but loads to see and choose from still.

Hope that helps!

Yes I've been to New Covent Garden at Vauxhall. It's an interesting walk around. Bargains to be had.

Is it just cut flowers or are the garden plants as well?

Mostly cut flowers. Some plants but not the focus. Lots of decorative pieces like ribbon, pinecones etc too.
