Description
Brixton to many is a place they know for the wrong reasons, such as the riots of the 1980’s.
Will Smith recently visited saying he wanted to see London's version of Harlem. Brixton once closed off to locals and visitors, now welcomes everyone to the neighbourhood to live in.
Resting a mere 15 minutes from central London, Brixton is worlds apart from the imperial grandeur of the Royal City.
A buzzing neighbourhood and one of the most ethnically diverse communities in London, (Brixton is) famous for its food, covered markets, graffiti, street art, mural art, music, and a strong sense of community.
From a Victorian middle-class neighbourhood past the mass Afro-Caribbean immigration of the 40s, and the turbulent 80s to being London’s culture capital, Brixton has seen it all.
On this walk, you’ll get to see its most exciting and iconic landmarks, learn about some famous locals, as well as experience its bustling multiculturalism.
