Buying a Christmas tree in Brixton, Dec 2019

[editor]

I'm putting together another article for Buzz so would appreciate some local knowledge.

So far, I've seen trees for sale at the stall on the corner of Electric Ave/Brixton Road, and the flower stall opposite the station.

There's also Pines and Needles in Brockwell Park but I'm not sure how many others from last year are selling.

Help appreciated!

Brought one from outside the tube today, my first ever real tree - I feel like I've finally 'made it's as an adult.
Not sure how to review. It is indeed a tree. Very tree-like.

I'm not after reviews - just locations!

The wedding florists which has set up in the former German&Swedish car parts store on Acre Lane - ie directly opposite Tesco car park - has trees in stock and were selling well from Saturday onward

Not sure - looks right but the one I'm talking about is sited a block closer in to the High St - on what's marked on that map as 'GSF car parts' - not sure if it's Google Maps or the FB site that's wrong, or if these are really 2 different places, will check out tomorrow

The article is live here. Hootananny's display looks particularly nice...

Disappointed that my insightful tree-based observations did not make the final edit.

Checked - yes, it's the same place, 34 Acre Lane, next to Topps Tiles at number 32. - Google maps fail.
