A wonderful, eclectic mix of fresh produce, household good, stuff, meat and variable Caribbean goodies. Absolutely fantastic.

Took my first trip to Brixton market last weekend and it took everything in my being not to go overboard and buy everything I’ve been craving for months! It’s all fine and well to buy some jerk seasoning and what have you at Tesco… but finding the yams, ripe plantain, green banana, and everything else you can possibly want to cook up come Sunday is another story. I was pretty much on cloud 9 for hours after I arrived at the market, stopping at every stall, going into every store in the area, buying a little something here, and a little more there until I was quite stocked up on all the provisions I’d need to make a proper Sunday dinner. Brixton market was well worth the trip and I’m SO going back whenever I get that nostalgic feeling.

Brixton market is located next to Brixton tube station. It's a very colourful and animated place. The outdoor stalls sell mainly exotic and other common fruits and vegs. You can also find all kind of household items for £1. I like this market for its exotism and lively atmosphere. It's simply brilliant!

Brixton market is just awesome. A great way to spend a few hours on a lazy Saturday, just wandering around and looking at all the weird and wonderful stuff on offer. And everything is dirt cheap (damn it, I really need to get organised and buy my fruit and veg here and not in Tesco!). Not sure I'd have the meat, but everything else looks great. You can get anything from plain haddock to tuna to flying fish in the various fish markets, and of course the fruit and vegetable selection is just fantastic. There’s also loads of little shops where you can get everything you need in terms of spices and other exotic goods. I'm bringing my suitcase with wheels next time.

Brixton Market is a revelation, a fantastic place to go for a stroll and pick out a bargain or two. Hundreds of stalls, selling all sorts, from clothes and shoes at knockdown prices, budget cleaning products, arts and crafts, carpets, flowers, the lot. The best part of it for me is the food stalls. I haven't had the guts to opt for some of the more extreme cuisine, such as the saltfish, but the vegetable shops of which there are many, keep our house stocked with cheap vegetables, masses of peppers or aubergines or whatever for a pound. Never will I buy veg from sainsburys again.

More than 300 stalls, Europe's biggest Caribbean market, flying fisch, breadfruit, saltfish, mango chutney, crab bag, roti, callaloo..... and so on and so forth, crafts, cloths, arts, flowers, you'll find everything under the sun that is woth selling and buying and fits on a table, exciting, big, colourful, absolutely brilliant. Opening hours: It's almost always open, depending on the weather. Just come.
