What's it like to live in Brixton / Brixton Borders

Somewhere near Herne Hill where you can ride round and round in circles with no traffic. Hmmm.

It's a poser.

But not early mornings.
I think that was the question wasn't it?
Where can I hammer out some laps before going to work?

Let's have a look shall we?

It would be nice to have somewhere nearby where you can smash out laps for an hour or so first thing in the morning in the peace and quiet. I do that in Regent's Park at the moment before work (currently living in Hackney) and although it's a bit mind-numbing, I'll miss it.
