It has a lot of markets nearby. Also, there are bus and train stations. The street is quiet, but the local businesses are busy. There are not many restaurants, and the area is mostly commercial and residential. There are several markets in the neighborhood.

Life in brixton

Abdallah S (Tenant)

Brixton Square, SW9

Jul 2024

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

New gentrification brings in a lot of restaurants and shops and has created an amazing community with an exciting night life. Transport links are convenient with tube, national rail and good bus routes all in the area. My street is very quiet as it is slightly recessed from main road but a short walk away. Slight anti social behaviour with the youth and the way they act.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Make sure you know exactly who to contact if anything goes wrong in your place as that will help you save some time in the future

What is the best feature of your home:

Windows near the roof that let in early morning sunrise light in that let's the upstairs landing glow when u step out of your room
