Market Mayhem Part 3

Shh...the secret garden is for sale! Columbia Road Flower Market located on, you guessed it, Columbia Road, is a flower and plant extravaganza that explodes onto the street every Sunday. Some of the most beautiful fresh cut flowers in all of London are sold here, at some seriously reasonable prices. To top it all off, the street is dotted with delightful cafes and restaurants, so if you are in the market for a lovely Sunday afternoon complete with flowers, food and great deals, Columbia Road is your destination!


Local's Tip: head over around 3pm for the end of the day deals, "3 bunches for a fiver!" it doesn't get much better than that!

It's tea time!

VINTAGE HEAVEN is a self-proclaimed “treasure trove of retro and mid-century objets d'art,” complete with a delightful tearoom, the CAKE HOLE, concealed within. 

The boutique stocks crockery of yesteryear combined with quirky thingamabobs and a small selection of vintage clothing.  

The Cake Hole steals the show in my eyes.  The selection of cakes and teas are certainly a special treat and the equally delicious soup of the day is on location for those craving a savoury snack.

Vintage Heaven/Cake Hole is not to be missed.  Where else can you buy your vintage china and sip from it too?

Vintage Heaven: Open Fri. 12 noon to 5.00pm, Sat. 12 noon to 6.00pm & Sun. 8.30am to 5.30pm

Cake Hole: Open Sat. 12 noon to 6.00pm & Sun. 8.30am to 5.00pm.
