Click “read more” to see photos of my strolls through the flower market and Brick Lane markets in East London!
After church on Oct. 24, I went to Columbia Road to the flower market. The market was a street full of flower vendors, yelling and selling. It was impossible to walk down the street without bumping into people, or getting slapped in the face by a flower.
I could barely understand the vendors’ English!
“Toofer Fiva!” they’d yell. Meaning “Two for a fiver.” A fiver and a tenner are five or 10-pound notes.
“ ‘alf dozen roses .. . ‘ere roses!”
“Toofa fiva, five fa tenna!”
Further down, other stuff was on sale too.
Two women go for the same item.
After I got bored with the flower market, I wasn’t sure where to go. It was a beautiful day, so I didn’t want to go home. I followed a group of people, thinking they were walking to the Tube. I followed them for about 15 minutes and came upon another market! It was Brick Lane market, which is well known, but I just stumbled upon it!
It’s also the Bangladeshi area of town!

Then I saw the East London Mosque.
It had a separate women’s and men’s entrance.

The End!
