Not being from London, that Rob interviewed at 1:00 might be the most "London" looking trader I've ever seen 😂

James Funnell There's another Covent Garden in the county where Shakespeare was born. It's in Leamington. And I happen to live near it.

correct me if i'm wrong but many florists have their flowers delivered/ordered direct from Holland...seen many a "NL"-reg trucks outside flower shops

Vincent de Guard one of the first close ups of flowers shows Dutch ones (J Boon). over here in the Netherlands, the flower markets are shrinking because of direct internet trading. you would not believe how big some of them are.

When did they separate the flower and fruit/veg markets? Was it when they moved from the original Covent Garden (as seen in Hitchcock's "Frenzy") or was it more recently?
