Drinks & Nightlife

Beautiful old pub with free jazz most nights from about 8.30 - Thursdays and Sundays are usually best. They also have several screens for major sports events. They also have a Caribbean Jerk kitchen. Drinks selection could be better but still a favourite.

My favourite pub for lazing. Great food. Great Sunday roast. Great breakfast. Great beer. Unpretentious. Beautiful old interior. The front terrace can get rammed during sunny weather. Tuesday quiz.

Once the old conservative club of Brixton - now a highly unusual old conservative club themed pub. It works! Good food. Good beer. DJs and bands on weekends. Table tennis.

A true Brixton institution and the "original" DJ pub on two floors with a late licence. Expect a party.

This tiny "low down cool fu©k"* venue does not look like much from the outside. And even less from the inside. But it has a fantastic music policy and often punches well above its weight - The Fat Whites played only last month (Feb 2016). It is seemingly impossible to predict whether it will be half empty or packed to bursting. * as described in Time Out!

It's a brewery in a railway arch hidden behind a mechanic's yard. Not only do they brew outstanding beer (Brockwell IPA is the business) but they have plenty of chairs and table scattered about so that you can enjoy your beer there and then. They often have DJs or other entertainment too. An absolute must when the Sun is shining.

Shopping

Tiny little off licence with a fantastic selection of beers and wine. Run by a real enthusiast. For a discount, ask for Dave and let him know you are Jon's Airbnb guests at Rushy House.

Food Scene

Now a multi million pound chain but this is the original and it remains largely unchanged. There has been a pizza restaurant in this tiny unit as long as I can remember.

Burgers don't come much better than this. And their rosemary fries are fantastic. For busy times they have a queuing app so you can head off for a drink elsewhere. Takeaway usually jumps the queue.

A very foodie Sunday market until about 4pm. I recommend Perk and White for coffee, the rainforest roti and the merguez sausage wraps. Stock up on cheese, then into The Commercial for a pint. Oh yes.

Salon serves seasonal and inventive food in a relaxed setting in Brixton Village market. There is a downstairs bar with a menu of snacks and sharing dishes, and an upstairs dining room, where they serve an ever changing seasonal set menu of either four or seven courses. It’s like fine dining, but without any of the fuss.

Sightseeing

Some two years after being painted this modest mural unexpectedly became the epicentre for Bowie fans. There were still mountains of flowers two months later and the walls are covered in messages. It is planned to become a permanent tribute (I'm not quite sure what Bowie would have thought of that...)

Yes - it's one of London'd last remaining windmills. Beautifully restored and occasionally working, so I'm told.

Everything Else

A brilliant park. Look out for the huge flocks of green parakeets, especially as they nest at dusk. There is a fantastic playground, bowls & tennis courts, BMX track, Lido and gym. Perfect for a run.
