Nolte, what is it you're looking for?
On Brixton Hill, there's the Brixton Arts Space which gives arts and dance classes. For scratch and theatre performances, there's the Battersea Arts Centre, not too far away by bus - loads of good stuff there.
The Brixton Ritzy is a surprisingly good cinema and again, you're only a bus ride from the Clapham Picture House.
There's a few good watering holes, a few grimy ones and for clubbing, The Fridge, Jamm and Plan B, depending on your tastes. Restaurants are a bit thinner on the ground, mind...
Brockwell Park is lovely in the summer and Streatham has the Lido and there used to be dance and martial arts classes at the Streatham town hall, I think.
There's 5-a-side football, tennis and netball on Ferndale Road and I often see what I think must be a capoeira class hanging around there - yoga, too.
That part of south London has been my stamping ground for a good while and although, as everywhere, you have to keep your wits about you, I don't think the place deserves it's poor reputation. There's much that is great about the area and I'm sorry to be moving away soon. That said, London's just a collection of small villages very close together and I'm sure every manor has lots to recommend it. |
