Feeling Electric? ⚡
Did you know that Electric Avenue was the first market street to be lit by electricity?
Maybe that’s where Brixton gets its pulsing energy. Built in 1888, Electric Avenue is still packed with vibrant vendors from all over the world. Whether you’re after fruit from across the globe, gorgeous garments for every occasion or a suitcase of literally every shape and size, you’ll find it on Electric Avenue.
Catch the market in the day, and head into the Village for some late-night shopping this Friday 27th September. There’ll be workshops and DJs, too!
Cosy Up Your Space For Autumn 🍂
Bring the chilled-out Autumn vibe to your home with these gorgeous picks from Brixton-based vendors.
Whether you’re after a fuzzy throw, a cosy read, some new house plants, Brixton’s got everything you need to make your home an Autumn haven.
Staying healthy: From freshly pressed mango juice to sea moss and ginger, Esme’s Organic in Market Row has all you need to harness the power of nature.
Keeping cosy: Drop into Artisan Stories to pick up some super soft blankets, cushions and bedsheets to ease your way into colder weather.
Going green: Bring the outside inside with some gorgeous houseplants from Haus. Nature is great for your mental health.
Being mindful: Take a break from your screen and curl up with a good book from Round Table Books. And if you can’t choose, ask the staff for a recommendation!
