Brixton Area Guide

Brixton is one of London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. An eclectic clash of Caribbean culture, hipster vibes and good-old South London attitude. 

There may be more pop ups and cocktail bars than a decade ago, but it will take a lot more than that to kill Brixton’s vibe.

t’s not difficult to work out why people love Brixton. 

First of all, it’s just so unashamedly Brixton – standing in stark contrast to neighbouring areas like Clapham and Herne Hill, Brixton’s buzzy high street, markets and late-night bars feel like a breath of fresh air. 

I spent a significant part of my early twenties living in a shitty Brixton flat with awesome flatmates… and have never been able to resist a cheeky jaunt to Brixton ever since. 

It’s not all hazy memories though – like much of London, Brixton’s constantly changing. 

Old stalwarts like Hootenanny’s and The Dogstar have been joined by a host of new bars, pubs and restaurants but, unlike other parts of London, they rub along just fine.
