Friends of Brixton Market is a group for customers, residents and anybody else who loves Brixton Market and doesn't want it to become another shopping mall.
We believe the market is the living heart of Brixton, but it has faced a range of threats over the past decade. Other street markets that got organised have managed to turn things around. With your help, Brixton market can do the same. There are lots of things that we can do and plans are already taking shape.
We have 3 aims:
- To see Brixton Market survive
- To see Brixton Market improve but retain its character
- To ensure Brixton Market remains affordable and culturally diverse
We are a voluntary, not-for-profit group who rely on people getting involved to make a difference, so if you can spare a little time go to How to Help or Get in touch.
