Don't know about the "south" part, but Britalia is a neighborhood in Kennedy City which is part of Bogota, Colombia in South America.
The area is known for its large plaza, public library & park.
It is also known for its Bavaria beer brewery which was built as part of President Kennedy's Alliance for Progress.

"Kennedy, or Ciudad Kennedy, is the eighth locality of Bogotá, capital of Colombia.
The neighborhoods of Kennedy are: Castilla, Ciudad Roma, Ciudad Kennedy, Timiza, Patio Bonito, Alquería, Britalia, Tintal, Class, El Rubí, Mandalay, La Fragua, Villa Alsacia, and Tintalito.

Points of interest
Plazoleta de Banderas (a public square showing the flags of the Americas).
El Tintal public library
Lago Timiza park

The Muisca people originally settled the area now known as Kennedy in the 16th century. From the colonial period until the early 20th century, it was mostly large ranches. From the 1930s on, it began a period of urbanization. In 1948, Bavaria opened its main brewery in Kennedy.

In 1961, an urbanization project was undertaken, financed in part by the Alianza para el Progreso (Alliance for Progress). The locality was known as Ciudad Techo until 1963, when the name was changed in honor of the assassinated John F. Kennedy, who visited Bogotá in 1961 and supported the Alliance for Progress."
