Why Move to Brixton?
Sitting within the London Borough of Lambeth, another of London’s very centrally located districts, Brixton is a lively, multicultural community with a down-to-earth vibe.
Like so many regions across the capital, during the past 10 years or so Brixton has become a go to destination and a sought-after property hot spot.
Just like Clapham, Notting Hill and Shoreditch it has undergone an incredible transformation which has led to an influx of new buyers willing to pay high prices to live here.
The abundance of green space, transport links and local culture has brought in everyone from new parents to young entrepreneurial types flexing their creative wings and starting new businesses.
Traditionally, Brixton has been home to a large Afro-Caribbean population, not to mention a melting pot of various Asian and Middle Eastern communities, together with bohemians, poets, musicians, writers, and artists all adding to its immensely colourful character.
Attracting thousands, Brixton Market is the very epicentre of life here, and you can usually buy anything from vintage clothing, ackee and saltfish to fromage, bread and champagne.
Definitely not a place to move to if you crave peace and quiet, the unconventional district is crammed with major music venues that contribute to the area’s energetic nightlife.
Electric Avenue, one of the first streets in the UK to be lit by electricity, is a sure place to sample Brixton’s food, music and its culture in general.
Playing host to a wide range of open spaces there is always somewhere outdoors to get some fresh air and entertain the children.
Brockwell park is among one of the local haunts featuring play areas, gardens, sport courts, bowling greens and much more.
All areas of the capital are accessible as Brixton is very well-connected by road and bus links, and Brixton Tube station in the centre of it all, is at the southern end of the accredited Victoria line.
Brixton Schools & Education
Parents are attracted to Brixton not just for its wonderful amenities but its reputation as having some very good schools.
Following their most recent inspections by the Governments education watchdog Ofsted, a number of local state schools have scored very highly, among them are Sudbourne Primary School, St Jude’s Church of England Primary School and Jessop Primary School.
Choices for secondary aged students include; Platanos College, Ark Evelyn Grace Academy, The Michael Tippett School and Harris Academy.
