"Electic Avenue, Brixton lends its name to the fact that it was the first electrically lit market street in the country."

Brixton is such a vibrant area and has lots of energy. I have lived here since 1971!

A great range of places to eat out in and around the market, quick and easy to get into central London too.
Fiona
Great food, great transport links and some nice quiet areas and parks.

I love the diversity of the area. That you can walk down streets and find beautiful artisan cafes and one-off design shops alongside Caribbean food stalls and lots of second hand shops. I love the architecture of the area with the Ritzy, library and city hall all showing remnants of an older Brixton. I love that you have access to some of the lovelier areas (in my opinion) in London, with Brockwell Park and its amazing views of London or Herne Hill and its lovely shops and cafes. The people in the area also make it unique. From the religious preachers outside of KFC to the steel drum players and the friendly flower man outside the station. Any walk through the area shows you something new and exciting.

The transport links are great into the West End and the City where I do most of my work. With its lido and open space, nearby Brockwell Park is a fantastic place to get my exercise fix. The choice of food at the thriving Brixton Village is endless and there are plenty of bars, pubs and clubs to entertain you into the late/early hours.

Brixton Market caters to all and is always buzzing.

A multicultural area, always awake within a short cycle to central London or Kent. Interesting food and nice characters all around!
Francesco
Electric Avenue, the first street in the UK to ever have street lighting.

Vibrant culture, young hip and trendy!

Brixton was an ancient hundred in the north east of the county of Surrey, England. Its area has been entirely absorbed by the growth of London; with its name currently referring to the Brixton district.
