London’s most colourful, energetic, and famous neighbourhood – best known for its historical riots, popular Clash song, African and Caribbean communities, squatters, activists and the birth place of David Bowie. Today, Brixton still hold these unique elements, and is one of the last few places in London that embraces its true vibrancy, amazing character and charm. You can’t miss the smells of weaves, popcorn and fish on Market Row, whilst dodging steel drummers and preachers as you wind your way around the streets.

You are spoilt for choice in Brixtons offerings of African shops, selling traditional, vibrant, printed textiles - as fabric lengths, bags, clothes and decorative items. The best being 'African Queen Fabrics' within Brixton Market, selling exquisite dutch hand printed fabrics. Another place of interest is ‘Rachel and Malika’s’, a beautiful, fairly traded and well stocked shop selling an eclectic mix of African jewellery, home furnishings and gifts, all lovingly selected during their travels to the Sahara region of West Africa.
