Brixton
- Brixton High Street, Brixton Market, Electric Avenue, Brixton O2 Academy, The Department Store, Stansfield Rd, St Matthew's Church, Lambeth Town Hall
Brixton is a classic but more gritty and very lively district in South London, home to many people from West India and Colombia. Here you find the colourful Electric Avenue, Brixton Market, Brixton Village and Brixton Arcade. In the town center there is man redbrick buildings, like the Lambeth Town House and the Brixton Library. The O2 Academy (formerly Brixton Academy) is a very famous live venue. I went to Brixton for the first time in 2022. We also visited David Bowie’s birthplace, a townhouse on 40 Stansfield Road, where he lived for only six years. The Department Store, is a former historic Bon Marche department store that was turned by the Squire & Partners architect into a collaborative workspaces with restaurants and handmade miniature buildings can be seen in the display window. There are some large churches in Brixton as well; St Matthew’s Church, Brixton Independent Church, St John Church and Christ Church Brixton. Turtle Bay, a Jamaican restaurant on Brixton Rd, that was the best one of all we tried during the stay.
