Renting in Brixton

What's it like to live in Brixton?

Brixton is a south London institution. The Victoria line puts you in central London in minutes, and the neighbourhood has a rich cultural identity built around Brixton Market, the Ritzy cinema, and a music scene that punches well above its weight. The market's restaurants serve some of the best affordable food in London. Brixton has gentrified significantly but retains a distinctive character. Rents here have plateaued somewhat after years of rapid increases, and you'll find a mix of Victorian conversions and council-built blocks. Electric Avenue and the covered markets are the heart of the area.
