Brixton Road is a road in the London Borough of Lambeth (south London, England), leading from the Oval at Kennington to Brixton, where it forms the high street and then forks into Effra Road and Brixton Hill at St Matthew's church at the junction with Acre Lane and Coldharbour Lane. Brixton Market is located in Electric Avenue near Brixton Underground station and in a network of covered arcades adjacent to the two railway viaducts. The market arcades were declared listed buildings in 2009 following controversial proposals by Lambeth Council to replace them with a large US-style mall. The former "Brixton Oval" is at the southern end with Lambeth Town Hall, the Ritzy Cinema, the Brixton Tate Library (with a statue of Henry Tate outside) and St Matthew's church. The space was renamed Windrush

  • Brixton Road is a road in the London Borough of Lambeth (south London, England), leading from the Oval at Kennington to Brixton, where it forms the high street and then forks into Effra Road and Brixton Hill at St Matthew's church at the junction with Acre Lane and Coldharbour Lane. Brixton Market is located in Electric Avenue near Brixton Underground station and in a network of covered arcades adjacent to the two railway viaducts. The market arcades were declared listed buildings in 2009 following controversial proposals by Lambeth Council to replace them with a large US-style mall. The former "Brixton Oval" is at the southern end with Lambeth Town Hall, the Ritzy Cinema, the Brixton Tate Library (with a statue of Henry Tate outside) and St Matthew's church. The space was renamed Windrush Square in 2010, in honour of the area's early Caribbean migrants and the HMT Empire Windrush, which in 1948 brought 492 passengers from Jamaica to London. Brixton Road dates back to the Roman era when it was part of the London to Brighton Way. The River Effra used to be visible near Lambeth Town Hall, but is now underground, serving as a storm drain. Fronting Brixton Road at the north end is the Neo-Byzantine style Christ Church, opened in 1902. For much of its length Brixton Road remains lined by Regency period terraces of houses that once made a virtually continuous frontage from Kennington to Brixton. These had become semi-derelict by the 1970s when some were replaced, but many were refurbished by the Greater London Council, mostly as social housing. Brixton Road is part of the A23. In the 1887 detective novel A Study in Scarlet, an abandoned house off the Brixton Road is the very first of the numerous crime scenes appearing in the Sherlock Holmes books and stories. (en)
  • Brixton Road es una carretera en el municipio de Lambeth (al sur de Londres, Inglaterra), que va desde la estación de Oval en Kennington a Brixton, donde se forma la calle principal y luego se bifurca en Effra Road y Brixton Hill en la iglesia de Saint Matthew en el cruce con Acre Lane y Coldharbour Lane. El Mercado de Brixton (Brixton Market) está ubicado en la Avenida Electric (Electric Avenue) cerca de la estación de Brixton y en una red de arcadas cubiertas adyacentes a los dos viaductos ferroviarios. Las galerías del mercado fueron declaradas edificios catalogados en 2009 a raíz de las controvertidas propuestas del consejo de Lambeth para reemplazarlas por un gran centro comercial al estilo estadounidense. El antiguo Brixton Oval se encuentra en el extremo sur con el Ayuntamiento de Lambeth, el Cine Ritzy, la Biblioteca Brixton Tate (con una estatua de Henry Tate en el exterior) y la iglesia de San Mateo. El espacio pasó a llamarse Windrush Square en 2010, en honor a los primeros migrantes caribeños de la zona y al HMT Empire Windrush, que en 1948 llevó a 492 pasajeros de Jamaica a Londres.​ Brixton Road se remonta a la época romana cuando formaba parte del Camino Londres a Brighton (London to Brighton Way). El Río Effra solía ser visible cerca del ayuntamiento de Lambeth, pero ahora está bajo tierra y sirve como drenaje pluvial. Frente a Brixton Road en el extremo norte se encuentra la Christ Church de estilo neobizantino, inaugurada en 1902. Durante gran parte de su longitud, Brixton Road permanece bordeada por terrazas de casas del período de regencia que una vez formaron una fachada prácticamente continua desde Kennington a Brixton. Estos se habían convertido en lugares semi-abandonados en la década de 1970 cuando algunos fueron reemplazados, pero muchos fueron remodelados por el Consejo del Gran Londres, principalmente como viviendas sociales. Brixton Road forma parte de la carretera A23. En la novela de detectives de 1887 Estudio en escarlata (A Study in Scarlet), una casa abandonada en Brixton Road es la primera de las numerosas escenas del crimen que aparecen en los libros e historias de Sherlock Holmes.​ (es)
