SW9 is a neighbourhood rich in history, culture, and community. Brixton’s roots as a commercial hub go back centuries—Bon Marché, the UK’s first purpose-built department store, opened here in 1877, and Electric Avenue became London’s first electrically lit street in 1888. Morleys, an independent department store on Brixton High Street, has been a local landmark since the 1880s, while Brixton Market, which originally began on Atlantic Road, has been a centre of trade since the 1920s. Today, Brixton is home to a vibrant mix of historic character and contemporary energy, with a thriving food scene, independent boutiques, and creative spaces that attract people from all over London.

Brixton Village and Market Row have become renowned destinations for food lovers, offering everything from Caribbean and Latin American street food to artisanal bakeries and delicatessens. The area is also known for its pop-up culture, with new bars, restaurants, and galleries opening regularly. Pop Brixton, a collection of independent businesses housed in shipping containers, reflects both the creativity and the debate around Brixton’s regeneration—originally conceived as a community project, it has become a destination in its own right, drawing visitors and locals alike.

For food and drink, The Canton Arms in Stockwell serves unpretentious yet outstanding food, while The Trinity Arms in Brixton is a great spot for a Sunday roast. If coffee is a priority, Cable Café Bar is perfect for a morning espresso and transforms into a lively cocktail bar in the evening. The Ritzy Cinema, one of London’s oldest independent cinemas, hosts film screenings and live events, while the O2 Academy Brixton is one of the city’s most iconic music venues, welcoming world-famous artists year-round.

Green spaces are plentiful, with Kennington Park offering landscaped gardens, sports facilities, and a café, while Myatt’s Fields Park is a hidden gem with a community-run café, a playground, and regular farmers’ markets.

For fitness and wellbeing, there’s PureGym Brixton and The Gym Group Stockwell, while yoga enthusiasts will find a range of classes at Brixton Yoga and MoreYoga Oval.
