Shopping
An East End market dating back to 1869, Columbia Road is London's leading flower market and is open on Sundays from 8am to 2pm. Unfortunately, it is ram-packed but worth 30 minutes of time just for the atmosphere. Don't go if you can't deal with massive crowds!!! If you're not there on a Sunday or don't like crowds, go during the week to see some cobbled streets and arty shops. Ezra Street has been the scene of many films due to its iconic look.
