This is the market in Electric Avenue, made famous in a song by Eddy Grant.

Brixton is a centre for the British African Caribbean community stemming from what is known as the Windrush Generation, those who came as immigrants from Jamaica.

There are therefore many shops selling exotic food to cater for the diverse local community.

The gig was fantastic. A band I knew from when I was a teenager, so a trip down memory lane for me.
