This wonderful photographic record of the last year at the site of the New Covent Garden Flower Market, occupied since the 1960s before it moved to its new, more modern premises, captures the essence and heart of what makes a market: its amazing product--the exuberant blooms and foliage--along with the characters that bring it life as they work there or visit it, as sellers, buyers, and porters meet, trade, hustle, bustle, and share a joke. Simon Lycett bought flowers for his floristry business from this Market for more than 30 years, and it is an essential, and much loved, part of his daily life. The market traders have become like family. Each day there, throughout the year, is different, as the ever-changing seasonal flowers and foliage of spring, summer, then Fall, and finally Christmas arrive in the Market hall.

East London photographer Johanna Neurath has ventured down Hackneyùs Columbia Road every Sunday for the last 10 years to visit its flower market. But rather than depicting the obvious prettiness of the people and flowers, she focuses her attention on the colour and patterns left behind as the market clears out. This book fuses still life and street photography to celebrate the beauty and chaos of one of East Londonùs most famous markets.
