What locals say about Poet's Corner
“Brixton is such a vibrant area and has lots of energy. I have lived here since 1971! ”
Christian
“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.”

Ayllón’s recording career spans over 30 albums, multiple gold and platinum records, 10 Latin GRAMMY nominations and a Lifetime Achievement Latin GRAMMY Award for her trajectory. As if this were not enough, she has shared the stage with other icons of world music such as Gilberto Santa Rosa, Soledad Pastorutti, Marc Anthony, Armando Manzanero, Raphael, Diego el Cigala, José Luis Rodríguez, Kalimba, Mercedes Sosa, Inti-Illimani Histórico, Illapu, David Bisbal, Los Kjarkas, Pedro Aznar, among others.
