Urban Oasis: Brixton Escape

Right in the middle of Brixton and very accessible for the O2 Loads of good places to eat right on your doorstep! Loved the fans as we came on one of the hottest weekends so they were a godsend in the bedrooms- thanks!

Needs another small sofa or comfy chair - one of us had to sit on a hard chair at the table to watch TV. Also the door to the flat was difficult to get into- new lock or a bit of wd40 me thinks.

Amazing location, and quite spacious considering we’re in the middle of London. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen and bathroom were in good working order, and there was space to breathe. Having Brixton Market, the O2 Academy and the Brixton Academy on the doorstep was pretty amazing.

It’s right next to the tube line so you hear trains rumbling all night, and there was a persistent car alarm in the street outside the window at about midnight. The neighbourhood can be a chaotic, noisy place - but that’s just Brixton and honestly I never felt unsafe or unhappy. The trains didn’t even keep me awake. But if you are used to a more refined setting be prepared that you’re in an area with 2 concert venues, nightlife, members of practically every culture on Earth, and some pockets of real poverty. Be a thoughtful and self-aware visitor!

Slap bang in the centre of Brixton! Quirky apartment with good sized bedrooms.

The lounge area was very small but understandable as it’s an unusual shaped property.

The flat had everything we needed and is located really centrally in Brixton

We found it really noisy when we stayed - a combination of the nearby nightclubs, train and people outside the flat meant it was noisy all through the night. There were also groups of people taking drugs outside the flat during the daytime.
