Anyone bought flowers Covent Garden flower market?

I want to do some DIY table centres & can't decide whether to buy from a local florist or direct from the market. I am guessing the flower market must be cheaper?

Thanks!!

I had to buy some flowers for a job from there, it is definitely cheaper than from a florist and the range is absolutely incredible. It's such an inspiring place to visit, whether you need any flowers or not! It's just quite a shock to the system getting up at that time of day... worth it though.

Thanks Rosietea. Someone told me today you need to be a florist & have a business card to buy from the market? Is that true?!

My residents' association did a few gardening workshops some time back and we took a van upto Covent Garden Market and purchased a large number of plants. We paid by cash

Anyone can buy flowers at Covent Garden Market, the bunches tend to be bigger, that's all. Amazing choice.

Colombia road on a Sunday is fun for large quantities - but only open on a Sunday sadly. Super quick to get there now too - Peckham Rye to Hoxton on Overground.
