About

Brixton North is a residential and commercial ward in central Lambeth. It contains the core of Brixton's retail district along Brixton Road and Atlantic Road, anchored by the Grade II listed Brixton Market. The area's street grid is largely Victorian, with many terraced houses converted into flats. Residential streets branch off from the main thoroughfares, featuring a mix of social housing and private accommodation. The ward is a major transport hub, centred on Brixton railway and London Underground stations.

The area is defined by its covered market arcades, like Market Row and Brixton Village, which house independent traders and food stalls. The Electric Avenue street market continues this retail tradition outdoors. Significant buildings include the Brixton Recreation Centre and the Brixton Tate Library. Windrush Square, a public space outside the library, serves as a community focal point. The ward's architecture includes post-war estates alongside its older stock, reflecting its continuous evolution.
