Getting There

Brixton is near central London, only a 8 stops from Euston and four Victoria station. On the Victoria line.

Come out of the underground railway station, turn right, and ahead of you, across the main road, is a railway arch wwith a message about peace. 

Turn right again down the side road. You will find a street of murals, and 

Shops and restaurants under the railway arches. You can buy all kinds of bright, colurful clothes, as well as snacks and food from around the world.

At night the trees are lit in red and and other colours. Very jolly.
