Who has been to Brixton in London??

Question

Is it that bad a place? why or why not?

Answer 1

I walked to Brixton, but ran through it.

Answer 2

I've been to Brixton Academy several times, both before and after the downgrading of cannabis. I think most people's problem with the area is the large number of black men around who look like they're selling drugs. On the tube I did get asked if I wanted anything, but when I said no, they pushed off without a hassle. It's not a bad place as such, but I wouldn't go anywhere in London on my own.

Answer 3

I went to a couple of concerts in Brixton....in the mid-70s!!! (I'm old.) I know it's considered to be a rough area but I didn't run into any trouble there.

Answer 4

My brother in law still lives there and it is definitely not a place to bring up children. We moved from that area 30 years ago and it was the best move we made.

Answer 5

Depends where you're coming from?!?
It's a pretty good communal vibe for both Black & White, if everyone stays cool, which they pretty well are these days!
But there's still Street Crime, as high as anywhere in London, apparently.

Answer 6

Its had bad press in the past, but its nicer now than it has been.
It's just another average London suburb.

Answer 7

I think i drove thru Brixton once by mistake.........

Answer 8

I used to live in the better part of Clapham. I tried to avoid it, especially after dark.

Answer 9

I actually used to live there , let's just say that I'm happier living in Kent now =)

Answer 10

One of my close friends live there and I loved it!!!
