Back in the 1980s, Brixton was talked-about more for its high crime rates than anything else. But heavy investment and a host of new business have transformed this rainbow-coloured neighbourhood for the better. Brixton’s a creative hub packed with street art, independent shops and eateries. It has a sense of identity that any other London district would struggle to match. Read on to discover the developments that are rated as the best places to live in Brixton.

Modern, green, great view but expensive
The location is great, a great view of the London skyline. The furnishings are modern and the overall development is kept clean.
I disliked the price, very expensive. There was a lot of overspill from Brixton, many parties in the green. It was also weirdly very dusty!
Please review your development:
I really enjoyed living there but it was very expensive. The design was very modern and new-build and good balance of adding greenery into zone 2 London. Location was great and the view was fantastic. Also lots of bus routes very close, a bit of a walk to tubes but I prefer the bus anyway, very well connected. The flats were perhaps a little small, but to be expected for London. The communal green and park was nice to add a sense of community but sometimes it got gatecrashed by teenagers (and adults!) throwing parties. Overall loved the flat and the area but definitely a stretch on our budget.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It’s a great location, with amazing skylines so don’t be disappointed when it’s a 20 min walk to a tube stop, the bus is just as quick and much nicer!
