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

I work in the offices opposite so had free pizza when they opened. Toppings are nice but it’s a crispy base which I don’t like, personally. Waiting staff are annoying as hell, trying to be your friend. Distressed interior too, just paint the bloody walls.

lol

Hopefully a sign that the bubble will pop and brixton will go back to the way it was before all the estate agents moved in.

Holy fuck. I have got to go and see what scenes are happening on Urban75...

Just came here to post that...the place is fucked...

Heineken bought a stake in Brixton Brewery today, they'll be moving to a bigger brewery on Milkwood Road

Wait, who owns Electric Avenue? Or is it just the licence to rent out pitches there?

ES might have just plonked in any old picture, of course.

post the highlights, pretty sure it is blocked at work

Bad news about that cnut from Newcastle though

i thought billy ocean owned most of brixton?

i ruddy love a bit of billy ocean.

everyone in this picture is mike ashley.

Middle class whiteys...did they use the same casting director as ‘Notting Hill’ for that pic?

🤔

FFS, it was bad enough when Champagne and f-ing Fromage opened up. Now I’ve got to look forward to being asked if I want to buy some socks and a Sports Direct bag for life every time I get a Franco Manca.

I get a Franco Manca.

Euph?

And you are?

lol

They sent the locals wild! Just amazing to think only three generations earlier his ancestors would have been hunting the locals. TBH - good effort to them as it was a low key charity station that I knew nothing about before hand. Hope they grabbed a pizza from the place in pop

Lol. Saw the crowd on my lunch break. Asked what it was about and got out of there.

Saw the Police moving on a homeless guy from Beehive Place just before everyone arrived. It’s a fairly hidden side street, could have just left him to sit there.

Spotted on Brixton Road. Struggling to come up with a crepe mix that doesn't have nutella, cheese or ham in it......

Personally would habe preferred somewhere I can get a bacon sarnie and decent coffee. Or fromage and champagne

Anywhere nearby sells paneer? Making some curry for the weekend and would love to throw some paneer in the mix.

Ortleib paneers are the best.

Most Sainos seem to sell it. Or any Turkish shop.

Do you think they should then? They are the nearest to me...

Should do - it might be called "pinir" I think (which is the Turkish word for cheese).

Brixton Tesco will definitely have it.
