Premier Inn Brixton

Brixton is famous for its vibrant cultural scene and rich musical history. It’s home to the legendary Brixton Academy music venue, bustling markets like Brixton Market and Brixton Village, and a thriving community of artists, foodies, and creatives. You’ll find colourful street art, unique shops and amazing food from all over the world, all packed into one lively neighbourhood. 

Not quite. Brixton is in South London, within the borough of Lambeth. While it's not officially part of Central London, it’s very close—only a few stops from the city centre on the Victoria line. It’s often considered a key inner-city area because of how well-connected and lively it is. 

Electric Avenue is probably Brixton’s most famous street. It was the first street in the UK to be lit by electricity and is now well known for its buzzing market atmosphere. You'll find stalls selling everything from fresh produce to international spices. It’s also mentioned in the famous 1983 song “Electric Avenue” by Eddy Grant, which helped make it a household name. 

Brixton's popularity comes from its mix of culture, creativity, history and energy. It has a strong sense of identity, a welcoming community vibe and offers everything from live music and delicious food to independent shops and street art. It's also a symbol of multicultural London, with events, food and music that reflect its diverse roots. People love it for being lively, authentic and always full of character. 

Absolutely! Brixton Market attracts thousands of visitors daily with its mix of stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables and much more. It's especially known for its incredible Caribbean and African cuisine, with traders offering a variety of traditional dishes and local favourites across both indoor and outdoor areas. Plus, Brixton Village is a great place to have a coffee, a spot of lunch or dinner. 

Brixton Academy is one of London’s most iconic live music venues. With a capacity of just under 5,000, it has hosted unforgettable performances by legendary artists such as Bob Dylan, Arcade Fire and The Clash. It's especially loved for its incredible atmosphere and rich musical history. If you’re staying at one of our local Premier Inn hotels, you can also easily attend a concert at the world-famous Brixton Academy. 

Start with a coffee at one of Brixton Village’s cafes, then browse the market for unique finds and fresh produce. Walk through Electric Avenue and maybe stop by the Black Cultural Archives to learn about local history. For lunch, try some street food, then spend a relaxing hour at Bourell Park or explore some local street art. In the evening, catch a gig at Brixton Academy or enjoy dinner and drinks at one of the area’s buzzing bars or restaurants. There’s always something going on! 

Yes, Brixton is great for nightlife! Whether you're into live music, bars, clubs or late-night food, there's plenty to enjoy. Brixton Academy hosts top artists and DJs, while venues like Hootananny and The Prince of Wales offer everything from reggae and jazz to house and hip-hop. There are also plenty of cosy pubs, rooftop bars and late-night spots, so whatever your vibe, you’ll find something that suits. 

Bourell Park is another popular Brixton attraction, offering a peaceful green space away from the busy streets. The park’s woodlands and flowerbeds are among the best in the area, making it a lovely spot for a relaxing stroll or a quiet moment outdoors. Whether you're after some fresh air, a scenic walk or just a bit of downtime, the park offers a refreshing change of pace.
