Serious advice. Don't attempt to cross Brixton Hill at night, and definitely not if you've had a drink, except at proper crossings with lights. In the time I've lived in Brixton lots of people have been killed or seriously injured and sometimes the car hits and runs which makes it all the worse.

Yep. Very very dodgy roads to cross and even at crossings, lots of motorists jump the lights, especially near the Prison

A lot of things can sound like gunshots, but they're often not (as you can see from someone saying they heard 8 when you heard one).Am I being a little pussy and over reacting?
I have never heard a (presumably) gun shot that close before.
Does no one have any idea what happened?
I was at Splash and someone was emphatic that they'd heard a gunshot too, but there hadn't been.
*that's not to say that you didn't hear one, btw, just that it might have been something else.

I called 999 and spoke to the police and they admitted to having other reports.
I jumped up immediately and there were loads of lads with identical (virtually) black hoodies up, running down the centre of our road (which is very unusual).
Our house mate down stairs, as soon as I heard it, I heard shout "What the fuck, that was a fucking gun wasn't it?".
Not something I have come across before.

Good advice. I almost got nailed one night. I was drunk but the lights were red and some twat came rushing through in a BMW.
Coming out of Blenheim Gardens I often see cars skip those lights in the early hours of the morning. Seen a few black cabs do it too as those fuckers know there's no camera.

Next time some twat starts one of those Whose The Most Brixton Person on here, you can win it and then we can bin the thread..

I know where you live, Kitty, I used to walk along your little road twice a day to work, and from work for over 15 years and it's not gun central, or stab city, it's a quiet road and if it was a gunshot, it's probably the last you'll ever hear in a lifetime unless you and Badgers run away with the circus and run a rifle range. 
There are no reports of anyone getting injured or anything, thank goodness and you clearly live somewhere where people care enough to ring the emergency services if they're worried. I find that reassuring.

Oh, can we can we run away with the circus?
I know, I know.
The police came and checked no one was hurt.

I've traced my family back further but living in Kennington
I know someone who can trace their family back to the people who built Ashby Mill to give it it's correct name. Ashby Mill is in Brixton, Kennington isn't

Something like that is shocking, especially if you haven't lived somewhere that long and feel like you're still settling in.

I saw a girl get hit by a moped outside The Fridge late one night. It was horrible.

The daughter of a regular at the Albert was killed by a hit and run driver on Brixton Hill some years ago. Really dreadful. Families never really recover from something like that. Especially as the driver was never caught. I've heard of so many deaths and serious injuries there, but this was the first time I witnessed the dreadful effect on so many people in a community that loved her

I hear load bangs from the estate all the time. (my room faces the estate)
i'm putting it down to doors alamming fire works or car backfiring.
or at least i used to until i started seeing more yellow signs. now i do always have a question in the back of my head

FWIW every time I heard loud bangs over Brockwell Park after dark I hoped it was just fireworks. Except that there's only so long you can do that.

was that at the crossing with christchurch road where the ghostbike is/was?

No, nearer Blenheim Gardens iirc, but this was a long time ago, I've lived here nearly 32 years. The whole of Brixton Hill is dangerous to cross at night.

Nasty Nick Cotton used to drink in The Albert.

I see a gap in the market. Think I shall open a pop-up stall (read: back of a van) selling lasagne and chips with optional side-salad accompaniment around Brixton.
