Columbia Road Flower Market, London

Columbia Road, London

Every Sunday morning, a narrow Victorian street becomes a riot of flowers, crowds, and theatre. The traders shout their prices. The street is so narrow the crowd becomes one organism.

Best time: Sunday only. 8am is quieter. 10am to noon is the peak.

Look for: the compression of the crowd on a narrow street. Flowers framing faces. The traders - they perform for the crowd.

Camera Settings

Wide angle to handle the compression. Flash optional.
