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.

This famous shopping arcade is a beautiful and treasured example of Art Deco architecture. On entering you cannot miss the slogan ‘SHOP HERE, SAVE MONEY’, which, is exactly right (if you are after some popcorn, an unconventional greetings card, a cobbler or a new weave). The narrow interior has tiny units either side of the walkway, home to a rich variety of unique businesses that have been serving the local community for decades.
