Would getting a mountain bike when I live in Brixton be ridiculous? Are there places to ride nearby or should my dreams remain dreams?

From west wickham you can pick up bridleways.
It ain't much, but something.

Tbh if riding from your house, a cross or hipster gravel bike would probebrly be better. If going to the hills then mtb will be more fun.

A slack heavy 140mm bike does suck a bit for ride outs but a lighter more distance oriented 120mm bike is surprisingly good.

There's quite a lot of off road from West Wickham, I might have some routes on Strava as I'm a former South Londoner, the Dulwich cross route is pretty good but there are quite a few road sections.
