Lambeth Town Hall in Brixton, Surrey

Brixton

Brixton is a town in Surrey which has become entirely swallowed within the metropolitan conurbation and wholly contiguous with its surrounding towns and neighbourhoods. It has given its name to the Brixton Hundred, the north-easternmost hundred of Surrey.

Brixton is predominantly residential. It has a prominent street market though and a substantial retail sector. It is a multiethnic community, and around a quarter of Brixton's population are of African and Caribbean descent. (Read more)
