(A) is Lidl.
 
Lazy bastards the lot of you. I cast my net much wider. I would even go so far as to say that Brixton = central Brixton
 
Did you just make that up now?
Yes
why is the north section so narrow? should at least go out to the skate park.
Yeah, maybe. I ummed and ahhed about discluding Kellet Road (and therefore the Effra) as well, as it's mostly quiet residential round there.

I think a good measure of "central" would be "areas that smell like piss on Sunday morning"

Do shootings not count now?
 
Surely central is such an arbitrary designation that it's entirely worthless.
A better question might be 'is there a kebab shop within 5 minutes walk from the tube'? :p
 
It's as much about crossing roads and navigating people. Even taking that into account it's not a 5 minute walk to Lidl. I used to live across from it.


Maybe I've just won the lottery. And maybe I was about to buy you a house so you wouldn't be homeless. Maybe that's not going to happen now.
It's not a polar expedition. It's walking a few minutes down a street

That's correct. It is a few minutes walk down a street. What it isn't is a 5 minute walk down a street.

all these few minutes make a difference when your food is getting cold on the walk back.


*just as I was typing that the woman in my ear sang 'food getting cold'.
 
'my life is like a kebab. it only seems good when im drunk' - some wag from some book, partially remembered and probably misquoted

Anyway - Quality Cafe next to the Academy does decent kebabs. Definitely within 5 mins walk from the tube.

The last time I went there they didn't do kebabs, only burgers.

When were you last there? What are the kebabs like?
 
Although not in Central Brixton... there is a chippy on Acre lane, a bit further on from Lidl, opposite the Costcutters. The chips are pretty good and about £1.20 for a huge bag. The fish is nothing to shout about.

There is also a guy who does jerk chicken on a BBQ on the street near the chippy. the chicken is cracking when eaten with the big bag o chips.
