Brixton pairs an independent high street that outscores most of the city with a proper local-centre feel that scores among the stronger in London — the trade-off is green space, where the walk to a sizeable park runs a little longer than is typical for London — a real difference, but a modest one.
Overall: among London's strongest on the six things we score

On schools evidence, the inspection picture is mixed: most inspected local state schools are rated Good or better. The walk to a sizeable green space runs a little longer than is typical for London — modest in practice, but worth noting for a family move.
