Very lovely bookshop with a fantastic selection of books, magazines, and indie zines. Nicely curated.

Although off the beaten track from the large national galleries, 198 is no less an important part of London’s artistic heritage.

Regeneration or gentrification? Having been living in and around Brixton for almost two decades, I'm not the only one witnessing its gradual transformation. Right now, Brixton offers an intriguing mix of Jamaican and British culture like nowhere else.

Great comic shop that stocks small press, and everything else you'd expect to find. The kids section starts at early ages and has something all the way up.

A charming family-run restaurant offering a great selection of freshly made hand-rolled pasta. Delicious:p
