Columbia Road Market, London

Ooooh id love to go there, is it as good as they say on TV?

Not as big as it looks on TV, Youngdaisydee, but every bit as colourful, busy and noisy as you'd expect. I loved listening to the traders' sales banter - the funniest free comedy show I've seen/heard in years! "Lillies, Lillies, who wants me lillies - 3 bunches for a fiver! Oh my Gawd, Guv! I shouldn't really be sellin' 'em so cheap, but me missus needs the money, y'understand, Guv? Wot wiv 10 kids to bring up - not all mine, y'understand Guv? Bless their bleedin' li'l 'earts, the li'l b......s! Lillies, lillies, 3 bunches for a fiver........." I was speechless and almost crying laughing.

Looks and sounds like fun shopping, it would be awful hard to just browse!

You surely have the patois down pat, Davey!! Delightful!!!

so many colours and sounds like the traders are colourful too!!!

My daughter attends the university nearby, I have always wanted to visit that market, but have not done so yet, after looking at your pictures, I have decided to do so before she finishes there. Thank you for sharing!

You're welcome, Michaella! But, I do hereby declare that I, David, am not legally bound to be held responsible for the dent in your (Michaella's) bank account, hahah! Let us know if/when you get there. X

I will David! you are right about the dent in the purse, there certainly will be, and I am prepared for it! Lol.
