Grab a few samples if you can!"

"Every Sunday between 8am and 3pm, Columbia Road in East London is transformed into the capital’s biggest flower market, with many independent growers selling flowers, plants and more. Even if you’re not out to buy any plants yourself, the market is still a great free place to visit in London – a colourful oasis filled with the scent of florals and sound of bargaining traders."

"Columbia Road Flower Market is a must-visitSunday market in London. Beloved by locals and visitors alike, it’s not hard to see why this is a real favourite. After all, shopping for armfuls of blooms and perhaps a house plant or two is a pretty lovely way to spend part of your weekend."

"Restaurants Street food South Bank. While culture vultures flock to the Southbank for arty attractions, fans of world food circle around its food market beside the Royal Festival Hall seeking their weekly fix of street nosh, booze, coffee and artisan produce. If meat is required, try 28 Well Hung or Woodwards Farm burgers – others fill up from the Curry Shack, Crêpes à la carte, or Korrito (Korean barbecue in burritos, rice, bowls and salad boxes)."

"While Camden Market and Brick Lane may be more famous, Maltby Street Market comes out on top when it comes to proper street food. At this lively weekend market in the hip area of Bermondsey that lies hidden away beneath the railway arches, only those in the know spend their time eating here. Home to some of the best producers in town, the market prides itself on gourmet street food and fresh produce whether you’re looking for the city’s best badass brownies, Mozambique burgers, tender beef steaks, melt-in-your-mouth cheese, gyozas, coffee or baked goods - there’s even top-notch gin on the menu."

"By London market terms,Maltby Streetis a relative newcomer – having only opened in 2009. That hasn’t stopped it from cementing its position as one of the go-to street food markets in London. It’s largely down to the fact that the quality of the traders is unfailingly high: from the decadent sweet treats at Waffle On to the cheesy goodness of The Cheese Truck, it’s a gastronome’s paradise."

"Found on Bermondsey’s Ropewalk, between the railway arches and the LASSCO salvage warehouse, this heaving strip of a market started taking shape in 2009. Back then, it was just coffee kings Monmouth cupping up for a couple of hours every Saturday. Now, it’s a proper institution, and the main contender to Borough Market’s crown."

"For many years the East End has been a hub for artists and Whitechapel Gallery has been there for over a hundred of them. Its focus, however, is largely on what’s happening now and next. Although it’s not averse to a 20th century artists’ retrospective, its links with London’s working artist community is strong and ongoing, so it’s a great place to find work by new artists on their way to becoming household names."

"Aldgate East’s next door neighbour may look traditional from the outside, but step inside and you’ll be blown away by this hub for talent, where ‘history has always been the future’. The gallery has premiered world-class artists, from modern masters Pablo Picasso and Mark Rothko, to contemporaries such as Sophie Calle and Sarah Lucas."

"Well, for me, topping the poll of London restaurants with a view has to be Butler’s Wharf Chop House Bar & Grill. Situated in the fashionable Shad Thames area, right by Tower Bridge, with the full length of the restaurant opening out onto the terrace in good weather, you can really soak up the riverside views. Best of all, despite its fabulous location, it won’t even cost you an arm and a leg."

"Restaurants British Tower Bridge. This Butler’s Wharf spot boasts some cracking views - Tower Bridge is merely the hurl of a meat-cleaver away. And if you need further proof of its proximity to the Thames?"

"Butlers Wharf Chop House – the relaxed riverside destination, with its famous view of Tower Bridge, is the ideal terrace destination to enjoy their menu of meaty dishes and expertly curated wine list."

"This stylish country-house hotel would be worth a visit for the views alone, but as it happens, the food is as pretty as the outlook. The menu blends classics with more modern concepts, but whichever you go for, you can bet it’ll be gorgeously-presented as Head Chef Jean-Didier Gouges is big on using flowers and herbs for presentation."
