Sightseeing
Saturday
.
Today you’re heading to Broadway Market—just make sure you arrive hungry. On Saturdays, the street springs to life with around 40 stalls selling everything from fresh produce to artisan breads and cheeses. Among the delicious produce and mouthwatering meals, you’ll also find vintage clothing and creations by local designers.
If you’ve planned cleverly, you’ll get to the market early, before all the hipster hoards arrive, which means you’ll need a pick-me-up. Climpson and Sons, renowned artisan coffee roasters, have a café conveniently located on Broadway Market. Once you’ve got your coffee, pick up a cupcake or éclair from Violet Bakery, an East London institution, owned by pastry chef Claire Ptak, and get shopping. Stroll along the street browsing the stalls and stand-alone shops, open throughout the week as well. Donlon Books, which could almost be mistaken for the bookstore in the movie Notting Hill, stocks an assortment of cool books.

It’s Sunday, which means you need to make your way to Columbia Road Flower Market—an authentic market that’s been around for years. And by that, we mean a market that wasn’t created to feed the burgeoning market trend. Many of the sellers are second- or third-generation family flower traders. For them, selling flowers isn’t a hobby; it’s a career. So don’t be surprised when you hear the traders giving their products the hard sell—strolling through the flower stands and listening to the traders drive a bargain is entertaining, if nothing else.
