Pop Brixton



A new pop-up outdoor opened over the weekend, built from metal shipping containers for that typical East-London boxpark look. But wait. It's not East London at all, in fact, Pop Brixton is in that deep, dark area that exists south of the river..

If you've ventured down there before, you'll have already sampled many of the treats that are available from Brixton Market, some of which feature at Pop too. The containers are still filling up, but for now, there's bars aplenty, plus a mix of food stalls from the classic market ramen to meat grills and Mexican. It's quite short on seating, but there's room to stand around. Best to get down early though, many of the stalls were running out of stock by 10pm..

Top tip: the lychee vodka shots are definitely worth a try!

Find it at: 53 Brixton Station Road, SW9 8PQ

Peckhamplex Cinema, South London


Barely five minutes walk from Peckham Rye overground, Peckhamplex (or Peckham Multiplex, if you want to be specific) is one of the cheapest cinemas in London. Tickets are just £4.99 standard, or £5.99 3-D. Don't be put off though, it might not be the plushest cinema you've ever been to, but it's not a budget one either. The screens are a decent size, and there's plenty of films on to choose from.

Quick tip: there's some great local pubs, including The Montpelier for a quick pint before / after

Find it at: 95a Rye Lane, London, SE15 4ST
