Guidebook for Greater London
Food Scene
Pop Brixton is a community project, event venue and the home of a community of independent retailers, restaurants, street food startups and social enterprises.
It's complex of shipping containers packed with street food vendors and mini restaurants, hawking everything from fancy Spanish tapas and Ghanaian comfort food, to the greatest fried chicken sandwich in London. You’ll come here and never want to leave. It’s awesome for a group, and an excellent plan of action would be just to rock up to Brixton at the weekend with a few friends and bounce from one stall to another all evening with live music.

Brixton Village and Market Row, two indoor markets housed in separate arcades, are integral to Brixton’s rich history. Over the last decade they have transformed into an epicentre for London’s culinary diversity, housing nearly 130 independent traders.
Foodwise, you’ll find successes such as Franco Manca and Honest Burgers, both of which started in Brixton Village and have since multiplied across London, plus plenty of other cafés and restaurants to explore. Try Jamaican/European fusion seafood at Etta’s Seafood Kitchen, street-style Mexican food at Jalisco, smokey Portuguese grill at Brixton Village Grill, French spot Champagne + Fromage, where you can sip on champagne.

The Canton Arms retains all the charm of an old fashioned pub with a large bar top offering a selection of cask ales on one side and a spacious dining room on the other.
The menu balances excellent value (£7-9 starters, £14-36 mains plus blackboard specials) with interesting, deceptively simple dishes – think skate, Jerusalem artichoke and radicchio or seven hour shoulder of salt marsh lamb – which has won the pub a Michelin Bib Gourmand.
