Welcome to London x London’s Brixton Guide: your guide to the best bars, restaurants and things to do in this South London neighbourhood.
Brixton sits in the London Borough of Lambeth, bordered by Clapham to the west, Herne Hill to the south and Camberwell to the east, with its own Underground station marking the southern end of the Victoria line.
Brixton is one of South London’s most distinctive neighbourhoods, an eclectic mix of Caribbean culture, independent businesses and unmistakable local character.
Decades of change haven’t dented its identity — old stalwarts and new arrivals rub along together just fine.
It’s not difficult to work out why people love Brixton. It stands in stark contrast to neighbouring areas like Clapham and Herne Hill, with a buzzy high street, markets and late-night bars that feel like a breath of fresh air.
Old stalwarts like Hootenanny’s and The Dogstar have been joined by a host of new bars, pubs and restaurants, and Brixton Village and Pop Brixton remain hubs for independent food businesses turning out excellent meals.
Eclectic and unapologetically itself, South London’s cultural powerhouse
