Brixton is London’s Brooklyn, Everyone knows Brixton when you mention London. For many Caribbean immigrants Brixton in South West London and Notting hill in West London, were the settling locations for the newly arrived, and black communities were soon established.
I spent my early years at 10 Glenelg Road, off Acre Lane, in Brixton and have many fond memories there, where we were one with the community.
Both Brixton and Notting hill are multi-cultural areas, bustling with characters and dignitaries and both have experienced their share of incendiary rioting in the 1980s and 1990s.
