Delve into Asian, Middle Eastern, and European cuisine at Camden’s alluring street food market, or experience Europe’s first liquid nitrogen ice cream parlor at Chin Chin Labs. This neighborhood is also one of the best places to find live music with exciting blues, rock, jazz, and indie venues that include Electric Ballroom, Green Note, and Underworld.Brixton – Located in South London, Brixton is a diverse and resilient neighborhood. Since the area’s notorious riots of the 1980s, Brixton has transformed into an exciting community with creative outdoor spaces, popular music venues, and a hip foodie scene. At Brixton Village, you will find international delicacies, vintage fashion, and handmade souvenirs. Just outside the arcade on Electric Avenue is a local market filled with Brixton’s butchers, fishmongers, and grocers. These markets are a rare find nowadays and offer visitors the chance to discover Brixton’s close-knit community. Ritzy Picturehouse is a popular movie theater for arthouse films; those with an interest in street art should explore the fascinating Brixton murals, depicting everything from David Bowie to lesser-known local heroes." - MATADOR_NETWORK
