South London places we love: Brixton,London Brixton is booming. The area is seeing gentrification on a grand scale-becoming one of the hottest areas to rent and buy in London.
Brixton-London Why? Many would put it down to the influence of Brixton Village Market, with its host of trendy shops, stylish bars and fantastic restaurants. In 2010 the owners of the Market offered start-up businesses the chance of several months’ free rent. Fast forward to today; Brixton attracts people from all over town who are keen to sample some of the best new cooking in a buzzing location. Our favourites include Mama Lan for the best fried chicken in London, Nanban for fantastic Japanese fusion food from the winner of Master chef Tim Anderson, and don’t miss Kricket for fabulous South Indian delights. But Brixton is so much more than just a foodie destination. Spaces like the Black Cultural Archives celebrate Brixton’s rich history, as a large percentage of its population is made up of London’s Afro-Caribbean community, who run some of the best shops, cafes and venues in the capital. It’s a big draw for music fans too, with Brixton Academy playing host to a diverse selection of bands and solo artists.
Head to Brixton if you’re looking for a lively night out — you won’t be disappointed!
Brixton-South London Part of Brixton’s appeal is its incredible transport links — you can get to Oxford Circus in around 12 minutes on the tube or hop on a bus to almost anywhere. While the centre of Brixton is busy and lively (check out Electric Avenue), you can also head up Brixton Hill towards the quieter 125-acre Brockwell Park, which is one of the prettiest green spaces in London and plays host to the wonderful Lambeth Country Show each July. Great for families with kids, the area also has a real pull for younger renters who want cool places to kick back in after work. We recommend the Shrub and Shutter for cocktails, the lovely wee wine bar Naughty Piglets, and the always fun Effra Social. Thinking of moving to Brixton? We can help!
