Brixton Village

What wonders was I to find upon entering Brixton Village last night, to only the jovial atmosphere of all its habitants but despite the torrential downpour, the merriest of merry people all going about their shopping, eating, singing and dancing routines. Not to mention the excitement of visiting the famous 'Electric Avenue' just off Coldharbour Lane, which is where the market is placed.

WONDERFUL!

The evening began with six utterly delicious oysters from Dagons Fresh Fish stand, who trade during the day as a regular fishmonger and have just created a  pop-up, after hours oyster bar for all those salty snack lovers!
AND an absolute steal - SIX oysters for £4.50! We had to order more!

...then a light bit of late-night shopping while waiting for our table.

After a jolly good browse our table was ready at 'Honest Burgers and after hearing great things about them were seated and served and ready to devour.

An extremely reasonably priced burger and a fantastic taste! 

Practically inhaled it!

...and then the bill comes in a little old fashioned cigarette case, which just adds to the absolute charm of the place and the easy going, make do-and-mend attitude that seems to go with the marketplace.

Most enchanting!

On full tums and a thirst for more adventures we found ourselves at the Effra Hall Tavern which sports a live music night on Thursdays.

This week's delicacies were a 5 piece jazz band who banged out all the classics and judging by the shoulder-to-shoulder dancing, was another successful Thursday night at the Tavern. The lively crowd applauded the musicians through until the early hours and everyone went home grinning, skipping down the streets.
