Brixton's famous covered market offers an eclectic mix of independent stalls, shops and places to eat and drink. There is nothing quite like this market anywhere else in or out of London, the perfect place to wonder and explore. One particular favourite is 'Elephant', a small restaurant specialising in traditional Pakistani street food - a must try are their pakoras, vegetable thali and mango lassi! Another favourite (if you are ever in need of a new wig) is 'Julia's Hair & Beauty', on Electric Avenue - by far the best wig display in London!
