Other spots in the area include Electric Brixton – an award-winning venue that combines both live music and club nights for a 1,700-strong crowd – and Brixton Jamm, which has a banging outdoor terrace and has seen the likes of Hot Chip, Skepta and Basement Jaxx perform. The Crown and Anchor gastropub is from the same folks behind the much-lauded Jolly Butchers up Stoke Newington way.
