Property to rent in Brixton
First recorded as Brixistane in 1067, which means 'at the stone of Brihtsige', Brixton remained mostly wasteland until the opening of Vauxhall Bridge in 1816. Today, Windrush Square, between Lambeth Town Hall and the Tate Library, was created to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the arrival of the modern Afro-Caribbean community on the Empire Windrush.
Property to rent in Brixton is mixed, partly as a result of the Luftwaffe bombers and partly as a result of ill-considered planning in the 1960s. But, Brixton's growing reputation as one of London's most vibrant urban areas has encouraged innovative construction. Houses to rent in Brixton are in the London Borough of Lambeth and include Georgian and Victorian two and three storey properties, and purpose built flats in refurbished and modern developments. Covered by postal districts, SW2 and SW9, three-bedroom Victorian houses are available for a monthly rental of £1,500. Four-bedroom houses in a substantial Victorian terrace will cost in the region of £1,900 per month. Flats to rent in Brixton, in a typical Victorian house conversion, offering one bedroom, will cost around £750 per month, with two bedrooms approximately £900 per month, in flats in good decorative order.
Amenities for properties in Brixton
Brixton has a wealth of neighbourhood bars, cafes, and restaurants to suit every taste including Portuguese, Thai and, of course, Caribbean. Residents are also well-served by Sainsbury's and Tesco, the Ritzy Cinema, and the wonderful green expanse of Brockwell Park with its Lido swimming pool, cycle track and tennis courts. There is a good mix of schools in Brixton including state and Church of England primary schools such as Christ Church C of E primary school in north Brixton and Richard Atkins primary school off Brixton Hill. For secondary education, children mostly travel out of the immediate area although Stockwell Park secondary school is on Clapham Road and St Martin in the Fields C of E secondary School is on Tulse Hill.
