Regardless of gentrification Brixton was going to change anyway. Big West Indian mainly Jamaican community back in the day that landed from Windrush etc. and got on with life in the UK.
These people who came over in the 50s or 60s are now retirement age plus, small wonder that they want to sell up their over-priced (due to market conditions) London pad and buy a palace in comparison back home. So they can live out the rest of their years in peace.
My plan is to do the opposite. I can buy about half an acre of land to build on in Jamaica for around 9k depending on location. Dream home here I come, as far away from London and bitchy middle-class mess as possible thankyouverymuch.
