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.

Brixton's famous covered market offers an eclectic mix of independent stalls, shops and places to eat and drink. There is nothing quite like this market anywhere else in or out of London, the perfect place to wonder and explore. One particular favourite is 'Elephant', a small restaurant specialising in traditional Pakistani street food - a must try are their pakoras, vegetable thali and mango lassi! Another favourite (if you are ever in need of a new wig) is 'Julia's Hair & Beauty', on Electric Avenue - by far the best wig display in London!
