Our second advent calendar offering comes from Jayne Schofield (with some very nice words about us at the end – unsolicited!)

What’s so great about Brixton?

By Jayne Schofield

For a start off it’s central, it’s where you must be

You’ll find us alright on the A23

The Victoria line takes you straight into town

And we’ve got Chukka, our gorgeous MP.

 

There’s history in Brixton, just like Windrush Square

Named after the ship that brought settlers there

To our vibrant community, rich and diverse

Welcoming, friendly, it’s really quite rare.

 

There’s plenty to do in SW2

The Academy, Ritzy to name only two

We’ve a Fridge that is hot and an ice rink that’s not

Or a swim in the Lido which makes you turn blue.

 

We’ve got our own windmill, just up the hill

Not far from the prison, quite scary but still

The bad boys are baking and selling their cakes

They are finding new ways of making a kill.

 

Down town there’s our Village, a top destination

Best coffee in London served at Federation

There’s bakeries, artists, fish shops and clothes

Colours and flavours from every nation.

 

Then there’s the Bugle, it’s so very cool

Has the measure of Brixton just right, as a rule

And the Blog captures all that we locals should know

Thanks to Tim and to Zoe, the brightest of Jewels.
