Sundays only. This is where most Eastenders get their flowers every Sunday, go between 10am and 3pm. Gets busy so earlier is best. Many stalls offload their stock at 12.30-1pm as they want to finish up and go early so you can pick up trays of plants for just a few pounds. You'll find quirky shops around the edge of the market too, beautiful, traditional, english gift shops and galleries. Expect musicians singing and even string quartets. Walk around Ezra Street directly round the back and have a coffee and breakfast while watching a band play in the street.
