Review of Brixton Market from 8 September 2011

What can i say…the main thing i like about Brixton market is the convergence of the different cultures. You’d be forgiven for thinking you were in a different country, very fast paced and lively.

Review of Brixton Market from 13 February 2011

I first started shopping at Brixton Market in the mid 1990’s when I lived here for a couple of years. I went through a period in the mid Noughties when I was a very infrequent visitor. However, I found that towards the middle of last year, as I realised a significant and what appears to be a sympathetic regeneration was underway, I was being drawn back here whenever I had a free weekend in town.

As with all things in Brixton, the scope, location and name of the “market” is open to all manner of debate, argument and conjecture. In this simple fella’s mind, and for the purpose of this short review, I’m talking about the indoor market which is also referred to as the “Granville Arcade” or more recently “Brixton Village”.

Many of the stalls that I used to frequent over 10 years ago, particularly those selling quality meat and fish, are still here and are as busy as ever. Fresh fruit and vegetables from around the world are still stacked high on many a stall at prices which put the likes of Borough Market to shame. Wild looking folk, and other more sad heart rending people, still wander through the many walkways; muttering dark thoughts and strange prophesies … so in many ways it’s just like old times and all the better for it. Good food from the yard can still be had from a number of small outlets and my favourite vendor of salt fish patties looks to be doing good business.

What has changed in the last couple of years is that a number of new independent ventures have started up. These guys are bringing a more modern; some might say a Shoreditch, artisan vibe to the market. Whatever, I’m loving this attempt to incorporate some new life into this wonderful market and to my old jaded eyes it seems to be bearing fruit. For the urban foodie this is fast becoming the place to go to, with a great selection of small sit down places selling top quality food from around the world.

I wandered up the 3 or so miles from Nunhead the other Sunday to catch a movie at the Ritzy to find that not only were a number of stalls on the market open but they were busy, in fact the Federation coffee shop was rammed. To the best of my knowledge the market only ever opened before Monday to Friday and in the day. Sunday opening and in the evening ….change soon come?

So apart from all the good old school stuff what’s new and getting my Brixton Pound: well the amazing Franco Manca pizza joint needs no more publicity, Rosie and her wonderful deli café is already a local legend, and the Federation coffee shop has already had a four star review from me. If truth be told I would just make a visit and see where your mood and senses lead you; plenty of good places for your lunch or dinner which are still to be splashed across the internet!! My ideal thing is to start with a browse around the collectable stalls, check out the tailoring, upgrade the tuneage, grab a coffee, buy some bread and then agonise over where to have lunch before buying some real meat and veg to see me through the week. By then the sun may be setting and who knows what might happen when you stumble out into Electric Avenue or Coldharbour Lane ……

Anyway, I generally walk thorough Borough Market on my way to and from work every day and I like it a lot, but it’s not the real deal. If you want an evolving, authentic experience of what’s happening in London in terms of music, culture and food I would recommend you jump on the Victoria Line and get yourself to Brixton Market. Some might say it’s not for the faint hearted but perhaps that’s why we love it ……..

P.S. When I mention stalls I mean small self-contained spaces which are like a baby shop. In modern money they would be termed a unit!!

alexsheppard Great review! I've never spent more than a few minutes in Brixton Market but I'll definitely have to pay it another visit!

NunheadNeil Thanks Alex. As I say it's one of my favourite spots in town at the moment and a good place to meet up with friends.

Review of Brixton Market from 24 November 2010

Brixton market is a great place within a great place, Your always gonna find or see something you didnt expect. Its just off the highstreet by the recreation centre. Plenty of stools and more yard food shops than any other market I know of, So jerk chicken all day long! It also has regular shop's on the side. Friut,veg and anything else you need to build up that stamina...WINK WINK........

Review of Brixton Market from 26 October 2010

This has to be the best fruit market in London other than New Covent Garden Market which you would need to be a trader to attend and to go early in the morning.

This market is fab. Situated in the heart of Brixton you get lovely fresh fruit and veg at competitive prices. Papaya Fruits which are huge much better value than at the supermarket and there are also butchers and other suppliers of novelty fairs

This is one of the main attractions and benefits of living in Brixton

Must visit

Review of Brixton Market from 11 October 2010

Brixton Market is great for fresh food supplies, fish fruit meat all available and fantastic. The only problem I have is getting it all home, once the wife has packed out the car there is only room left for the driver so I have to hot foot it home on the bus LOL :)
