		Brixton is definitely on the up, I've lived there for about 18 months so it's nice to see these kind of additions to the neighbourhood.

		Brixton (www.mylambeth.co.uk) is a classic Victorian suburb, transformed from open fields into bricks and mortar in a couple of decades following the arrival of the railways in the 1860s.
		It's regarded as a pretty cool neighbourhood by a large slice of white Londoners, too – folk who like a bit of "street grit" in their lives, though despite popular perceptions of Brixton as a fl ghetto, the area is in fact majority white, and distinctly middle-class over towards Streatham and Herne Hill.
		Brixton still lives with the reputation it earned during the 1981, 1985 and (to a lesser extent) 1995 riots, when tensions between the police and the locals (not only the fl community) came to a head.

		It was the middle of the afternoon in London's Brixton market, the area at the heart of a hugely controversial 'softly-softly' drugs experiment which has seen those caught with small amounts of cannabis facing nothing more than a telling-off.
		After the Brixton race riots in 1981, police in the area adopted a relaxed attitude towards cannabis smoking: the chances of being arrested and prosecuted for possessing the drug were minimal.
		The market has grown, but the way it operates is the same.' In an attempt to beat police tactics, dealers now carry fewer rocks in their mouths than they used to in order to make it easier to swallow them in the event of a raid.
