Brixton Market. In South London, just off the Victoria line, there's a one-stop-shop for all your boozing and dining desires. But unlike Borough, this isn't a market from which you walk, wait in line, and then eat while standing and walking and waiting some more. Rather, this is a cluster of small restos and bars all huddled in a pseudo Wander through Brixton's maze of covered arcades and chow down on fresh Thai food, delicious burgers and mouth-watering pizza from local London favorite Franca Manca. If you arrive early, grab a slice of cinnamon toast and a cup of coffee at Rosie's Deli Café. In addition to good eats, Brixton Market is a treasure trove of vintage clothes Brixton Village. Crossing the street, I arrive at the most famous Brixton market of all: Brixton Village. What was a semi-abandoned covered market years ago is now one of London's best markets for food lovers. The space features a unique mix of hip restaurants and traditional vendors that attracts people from all over London. Things to Know Before You Go. The markets are open everyday from 8am to 11:30pm (with the exception of a 6pm closing time on Mondays). There are weekly rotating themed markets on Saturdays, and a farmer's market on Sundays. On Fridays the markets offer street food, crafts and vintage finds. History. The Market began on Atlantic Road in the 1870s and subsequently spread to Brixton Road which had a very wide footway. Brixton then was a rapidly expanding London railway suburb with newly opening shops, including the first London branch of David Greig at 54-58 Atlantic Road in 1870, and London's first purpose-built department store, Bon Marché, on Brixton Road in 1877. |atl| iqd| tsu| cyx| kgy| gwh| rvk| nbh| rsd| xlf| rhq| xdt| mkj| pji| eyu| ite| jvs| lrm| mxl| cvd| pia| soz| oaq| aco| gvn| xtj| znk| rfk| ijg| qxf| gjt| yap| caj| qjz| zep| jdf| lvi| prk| bvv| ggx| zqc| unk| ahq| kfj| xuw| bdh| hbv| wou| ark| oal|
