day trip to Columbia Road Flower Market

last Sunday I headed back to East London, where I used to live a few years back to visit Columbia Road Flower Market, one of my favourite places to go early on a Sunday morning, what's not to love, fresh coffee, cake, flowers in abundance, salmon and cream cheese bagels and a energy and buzz that makes you smile....

First stop Cakehole tea rooms, at the back of a vintage china shop, this is the perfect place to enjoy a HUGE slice of cake and a pot of tea...... I had the blueberry and pear almond cake, which was delicious and the perfect start to the morning, think crochet granny cushions, mismatched crockery and interesting quirky things to look at, we loved the scrabble piece sign...

we then had a browse around the shops, I loved these vintage look alarm clocks and I sooo wanted to buy one of these teddies, my sister needs to hurry up and have a baby so I can buy them all :)

And of course here are the flowers, they are beautiful and soooo cheap, prices range from £3-£6 for a bunch, dependent on what you choose....

the live music was very cool and I could have sat on the curb for hours listening to them with a bacon bap...

last stop was Vanilli's in the courtyard for a quick coffee and a pistachio meringue, delicious, also the music was very cool and we were loving a bit of daft punk blaring out of the speakers! I miss East London ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
