Hi there. When I told Londoners I've visited Brixton, they confirmed this really is a vivid area in the South of London ! My personal guide, Richard, is the right one to have you introduced in this diverse community with lots of history. We met at the mural of David Bowie, near to Brxton tube and Richard started to talk about the area and its inhabitants. He took me to electric street where food stores were opening and I admired the diversity of food and people who are working overthere. Richard talked me about the history of Brixton riots in the Eighties, about black history in London and about gentrification now. We took our time to visit local shops and Richard advised me to buy a little book about unknown London in a second hand bookshop. It seemed to me a lot of local people knew him (and he knew them). Although I preferred to have my guided tour in the morning, we could see a glimpse of Brixton container village where Pop Brixton is taking place. At the end of the tour we ended this remarkable morning with a remarkable guide on a terrace of a little pub near the railway station. Richard paid for the drinks and I could continue my trip in London with a big smile. Thanks Richard ! Tom

Paulo met me at a Tube stop near my hotel and we traveled to Brixton together. That made it easy for us to start the tour. He gave me the how down on the history of Brixton and how it came to be in its current state. We went to the Central Park where there were fantastic views of central London. And when it was finished, Paulo took me back to the Tube station where we met

A really good exploration of Brixton and a nice relaxed atmosphere. It was a good experience because it was not something I would have thought about doing on my own.
