Famous for its amazing selection of fresh fruit and veg, especially those of an exotic nature, Brixton Market is one of the most colourful days out you can have in London. The market started along Electric Avenue (made famous by Eddy Grant's hit song of the same name) in the 1870s, but now encompasses most of the surrounding streets. A large range of African objects and West Indian music are here for the taking, in addition to a choice of hardware supplies, new clothes, all kinds of food, and bric-a-brac. On Sundays there's an art market in place of the usual stalls, and organic produce is available on Monday, Tuesday and Saturday.
