Brixton Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brixton Road is a road in the London Borough of Lambeth, leading from the Oval at Kennington to Brixton, where it forms the high street and then forks into Effra Road & Brixton Hill by the crossroad with Acre Lane & Coldharbour Lane. Brixton Market is in Electric Avenue near Brixton tube station and the 2 railway viaducts. The Brixton Oval is at the southern end with Lambeth Town Hall, the ritzy cimema, the brixton tate and Mass formerly St Mathew's.
The road dates back to the Roman era. The River Effra used to be visible here, but is now located underground. The road is home to the byzantine Christ Church, which opened in 1902.
Brixton Road is part of the A23.
