A Fresh Face in South London
ON a recent Thursday evening, Brixton Market
in South London was a study in odd juxtapositions.
The daily cacophony of vendors hawking everything
from Jamaican plantains to
knockoff handbags was clearing out.
Meanwhile, a man in a cow suit handed work sheets
to a group of sophisticates
clutching glasses of red wine,
participants in an organized scavenger hunt
meant to encourage community
interaction within the market.
Nearby, a little girl danced with a Scottish terrier
to bass-heavy reggae
thudding over the din of mealtime chatter.
And a four-piece band plugged into a P.A. system in front of a row of
storefronts
that ranged from an Afro-Caribbean hair salon to an old-time candy shop,
where a tall woman with dreadlocks iced a tray of cupcakes.
It’s hard to believe that less than a year ago,
most of these shops stood empty,
the market itself destined for demolition.
In the last six months,
Brixton Market (Electric Avenue; 44-796-094-20-60;
brixtonmarket.net) has burst back into life,
largely through a revitalization project led
by the nonprofit organization Space
Makers Agency (spacemakers.org.uk),
in cooperation with Friends of Brixton Market,
a local group that succeeded in getting the market listed
by the Department of
Culture for heritage protection.
