I love this place ! You can find everything you need and it's not expensive at all. This place is a must to visit If you are new in town. I hate how crowded it gets, especially on weekends, but sometimes that's a good thing.

Great market! You can find all kinds of stuff here. Still what I come for are the cheap fruits, vegetables and spices plus a nice very tasty and yet cheap meal. The booths that offer food are so many and there are all kinds of dishes from different cuisines. You can eat all you want and still you will walk home with your pockets full. Definitely recommend trying the Mexican food.

There's not enough words to describe how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE Brixton Market!
It's changed sooo much in the 3 years I've lived darn sarf and every time I go back I find a new little coffee shop or restaurant in the village.
In the main market the veggies are an absolute STEAL - £1 for 6 peppers, get in! (they're 3 for nearly £2 at the Sainsburys round the corner)
Indian, Caribbean, Thai, Chinese etc etc - every time I wander round I get new inspiration for my culinary skills.
Brixton Market is my favourite place on a Sunday, I wander round for about an hour picking up bits and bobs
Top Tips
1 - Packet herbs & spices - don't pay supermarket prices, buy 5 times the amount for half the price
2 - Thai / Chinese supermarket - amazing for authentic cooking
3 - £1 bowls - bargainous

That's one of my fav places to go. It's never boring - you could see so different and interesting staff. I like now the Christmas market. You can find neat presents there, have fun and enjoy the Christmas spirit. Wonderful place indeed! Just got overcrowded sometimes.

Brixton market has had such a transformation!! In the last few years it has really filled up with loads of little restaurants and cafes, cool vintage shops and coffee shops. All really individual and quirky! Tables are rickety and menus are handwritten, but this just adds to its charm!! Now gets really busy as word of mouth spreads. Great place to meet up with friends for lunch and the range of cuisines available mean you can have any food you fancy!

Took my mother to Brixton market on Saturday as we both hadn't been there before. I'm with mixed feeling about the place, though. Yes, it has all the stuff you can imagine like fruits, veggies, flowers and even household items, but it was way overcrowded.
I bought tomatoes, they were fresh and delicious, and price was cheap, but I'm not too sure it is worth it if you're not from around.

I try to concentrate my home shopping in Brixton Market. The products are very fresh and I know they are organic. People are very kind and helpful. I often ask them to deliver something they don't have at the minute and they are happy to do so by the following week. My kids enjoy the place as well.

One of the best things about living in London is that you discover something new all the time. Brixton Market is a typical example ... it must be a good few years since I last wandered down Electric Avenue on market day. It has always been a great place for exotic fruit and veg, but now it has undergone a transformation into something even more special. The covered parts of Market Row and Brixton Village remind me similarly strongly of both Nairobi and Seattle, with their currently very well balanced mix between long-standing food stall holders selling fruit and veg from around the globe (mainly Caribbean), and trendy cafes and eateries. Everyone seems happy, pigs heads and chicken feet sit comfortably next to newly opened artisan delicatessen and gift shops.
I love being a tourist without having to board a plane, and there is so much to explore here. And noone seems to mind yet another person pointing a camera - during the afternoon I spent here, I spotted two film camera crews, one following us around and listening to us gushing about how beautiful it all is.
The market halls have always been here, and I like the fact that they have not been renovated to death. The charme of the new places is that they make do with the space available; exposed pipes and brickwork, flaking paint and faded flags galore.
Everything just looks and smells beautifully (well, apart from the fish ...), and the prices are very reasonable considering the high quality and trendiness of what's on offer. Most of the bar spaces are tiny and very intimiate and spill out into the avenues - al fresco dining even when it's pouring down with rain! Some true streetfood, too, and I loved my mini taco for just £1!
I was almost hesitant to write this review as there has been a bit of a hype already - fingers crossed, time will now stand still for a while and the magic not be spoilt by overdevelopment.

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 any other “HERBS” you need to build up that stamina…WINK WINK……..

There are only benefits to be had by visiting BRIXTON MARKET.
Truly multicultural with a harmony that puts the United Nations to shame.
If you are a regular the bargains to be had are many.
Even in these tough economic times you cannot get poorer by shopping in the market.
What more can I say!
No more having to bone your meat or fillet your fish – that is all done for you
GREAT!
