Private - The Great Brixton History & Culture Experience
What your day looks like
Visit and hear the story of South London's most in-trend neighborhood. You won't find a part of London as diverse in either history or culture, than this Electric hub that is Brixton. The ethnic diversity of Brixton is reflected in the food, markets, street art, murals, music, and atmosphere of community and passion. But Brixton's past reflects the wider history of London: changing times have brought lightning-fast transformations for areas like this one, taking it from poverty to glamorous a Victorian suburb, to the hub of the Afro-Caribbean community since the 1950's. More recently, the turbulence of the 1980s saw hope emerge as the struggle for identity was realized by the local community. In this tour, you will hear fascinating stories, see iconic landmarks, and smell mouthwatering smells of world cuisine.
