Sunshine and Sweet Surprises at Brixton Orchard, Rooftop Bars, and the Best Things to Do in Brixton This Week
Brixton BCC | 26.06.2024
Sun’s out, heat’s up — what better time to plan a visit to the Brixton Orchard?
Thanks to the good people at the Brixton Business Improvement District, Urban Growth, and Lambeth Council, this vibrant community space is a gorgeous green retreat where you can pick fruits straight from the trees. Because who said you can’t grow your own food in the beating heart of the city?
Take your kids, take your family, take your best friend and reconnect with nature, learn about sustainable urban farming and catch those rays, all while supporting a fantastic community initiative. It’s a true Brixton hidden gem.
