Columbia Flower Market & Lily Vanilli
Columbia Flower Market & Lily Vanilli
There’s something truly magical about a Sunday morning at Columbia Road Flower Market — the buzz of the crowd, the colours of fresh blooms, and the charm of East London in full swing.
We’re heading there together for a relaxed stroll through one of the city’s most iconic weekend spots. Whether you’re a flower lover, a people-watcher, or simply in the mood for a joyful morning with like-minded women, this is the perfect way to start your Sunday. And of course, no visit would be complete without a stop at the beloved Lily Vanilli Bakery, tucked just behind the market, for coffee and a sweet treat.
This is a gentle, no-rush kind of get-together — the kind that gives you a feel-good boost and reminds you how lovely it is to explore London in good company.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We’ll be meeting at 10:00am outside Columbia Road School, just at the top of Columbia Road. It’s a central and easy-to-spot location right by the market entrance.
📍 Address: Columbia Primary School, Columbia Rd, London E2 7PP

We’ll wait 10 minutes before beginning our stroll, so please be on time if you’d like to join us from the start.
From there, we’ll wander through the market at a relaxed pace – taking in the flowers, independent shops, and vibrant atmosphere – before heading to Lily Vanilli to grab a table if we can and enjoy some of East London’s most-loved bakes together. There’s no strict agenda, just a warm and easy way to connect with new faces and start your day with good conversation and even better cake.
