Brixton Market
Electric Avenue London, Brixton SW9 8JX
Description:
Brixton Market is an amazing mixture of Caribbean and African cultures, which are embodied in more than three hundred shops, where exotic vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices are presented, unusual for Europeans. This market is the largest Caribbean market in Europe with very low prices.
The market began to function in the 1870s, later it expanded with new stores. Now the Brixton area is never empty and quiet, because in addition to the large market there are many other interesting places. People of different nations and cultures flock to the market, because most exotic products are not found in supermarkets.
There is always fresh food on the market. For example, if at the end of the market day there are unsold cakes, they are cut and distributed for free. So food never stays the next day, and people come here regularly.
