Alphabetical thing: Brixton (National Rail)

Brixton railway station is the first stop on the SouthEastern route out of Victoria. It has two platforms, each with its own exit. The only connection between the platforms is at street level.




An attempt has been made to brighten up one of the entrances with colourful murals, and the platforms with statues. The results are interesting, if not always totally successful.





What's immediately outside the station? The bustling streets of Brixton market, including Electric Avenue of Eddy Grant fame.



Is it near Brixton underground station? Yes, very near. Just round the corner from it, in fact, but still very much a separate structure, which is why it's getting a separate entry in this blog.
