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

One person on here told me flat out that she wouldn't dream of bringing up kids in Brixton because of the "quality of life" (which she failed to define). Yet she's also complained on here about Brixton losing its edge.

Utterly laughable. It's like urban-safari for the priv-kids. Mind you the Hermit's Cave in Camberwell has always been a fairly even mix of locals and art students from down the road searching for something 'authentic'. They are tolerated with good grace.
