Brixton (South-London) is an interesting place – vibrant and multicultural. The area even has its own currency, the Brixton Pound (each note commemorates a local hero and can only be used in the district). But the charms of Brixton don’t end there, if you’re looking for suggestions of what to do in Brixton, you’ve come to the right place.
Here’s our top five things to do.
No visit to Brixton would be complete without a trip to Brixton Market on Station Road, also known as Brixton Village. here, you’ll find everything from Afro-Caribbean spices, to Indian and Vietnamese supermarkets and South American butchers, and restaurants!

If you’re after a great night out in Brixton and fancy a change from Brixton Academy, you should definitely head towards Effra Road. Here you’ll find two great evening venues just a short walk from each other.
If you’re over 21 and into live music, check out Hootenanny. They regularly host reggae and live band karaoke evenings, so you’re sure to be entertained.
