The food cooked by Gremio de Brixton for the homeless people sleeping in St Matthew's Church last night went down a treat. More details here.

Help - I've got a sofa we don't have space for any more, so want to offer it to anyone who wants it but can't find the relevant thread on which to do this. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
 
I always think of NPR from Brixton Hill to the South Circular. And I think that Brixton Hill, which starts at Water Lane and ends at the South Circular, is a different place to Brixton. And SW2 isn't an indicator of being in Brixton because Palace Rd, Tulse Hill is SW2, as are the ABC roads in Streatham Hill.
 
If it's a different place to Brixton, what is it? It's not Streatham.
I'm don't mind it being nothing. I'm quite happy that the world seems to be ignoring it actually!
 
It's Brixton Hill rather than Brixton. Once there's an incline on the A23, it's Brixton Hill instead of Brixton. Although I have previously said that your place name is the closest train or tube station and there is no Brixton Hill tube.

Anyway, NPR is nice. I was in those flats on the left hand side and there was such a great view towards town.

The people in the top flat of that upmarket block used to host some very loud parties.
 
Why is it upmarket? They seemed well built, unlike a lot of private shite I have seen, but not fancy at all. I was in there at about 4pm so no parties, but the people I was visiting have two young kids so loud parties worked be unfair.

The top floor penthouse (which is the bit I was referring to) was on the market as a luxury apartment complete with an outrageous rental fee a while back (there was a thread about it here).

I'm sure it was the top floor I was on, but it was a corridor with loads of flats, not just the one. It's half owned by a housing association, half by the inhabitants.

If it's the same block, I'm sure it would command a hefty rent, given how nice it is, but I think it's not the same place.

I mean the big one on NPR near the junction with Brixton Hill.
 
Whoever owns that flat (I'm not sayin!) is not popular with their neighbours. They used to let off fireworks in the wee hours at the weekends, when it was broad daylight.

I think they're renting the place out now instead of living in it. Lucrative
 
When i moved down here i was told that Brixton started on the Tesco/Macd's side of Streatham Place.
Streatham started over the road from these and Clapham Park was sort of behind Richard Atkins school.
I still live by this rule and would refer to both The Sultan and Hand in Hand as Brixton boozers.

The same person also told me that Tulse Hill was Millwall territory and the rest of Brixton was Chelsea ;)
