Where to lock a bike in Brixton?

Posted on
  • I'm off to Brixton Acadamy toinight but a little bit worried about where to leave my bike.

    Any Brixtonites how some ideas on good places where I stand a decent chance of my bike still being there come 11?

    Cheers

  • Ealing.

  • There's a massive thread on this somewhere.

  • Outside the cop shop that's opposite the academy.

  • at home

  • Outside the cop shop that's opposite the academy.

    This is looking like a winner so far... unless I just take it in with me.

    Hmmm... I'd be tempted to leave it outside the Effra, bit of a walk back to the Academy tho'... I wouldn't even leave it outside the OB shop tbh, that's where criminals congregate dontchaknow?

  • Outside the 24hr McDonalds.

  • Lock it properly outside the tube station and it'll be fine.

  • who you seeing?
    get the tube.

  • My place for a whopping fee

  • Outside the Ritzy? Al fresco cafe types might put off any obvious snippers. Library railings are also a good bet. They're at the "wrong" end of the Hight St for the Academy, but only a 5min walk away.

  • Actually Ritzy isn't a bad idea. Well lit, lots of people, lots of other bikes locked up.

  • Lock it properly outside the tube station and it'll be fine.

    +1, just make sure to use two decent locks, and put it next to a nicer/bait bike if possible.

    I locked it outside the tube station in the end with one decent lock and 4 £1 locks from Poundland.

    Job done

  • Outside the tube is a safe bet, lots of foot traffic - I have also locked mine many times by the leisure centre gates up the stairs

  • The OP will be very grateful for that advice when he travels back in time to the concert he went to last year.

  • Effra pubs got to be the safest. Always people outside there.
