Brixton , London "Side of London they Don't Show You"

London is known for Tea & Crumpets and Big Ben. We want to show a side of London that is not really shown in the media.
London is so much more than Central London. I took a few days to show you around brixton.

I remember when I use to go Brixton Village or whatever it was then 10 years ago the only thing that was there was nigerian aunties hairdressers, bits and bobs shops (like mop buckets, sponges, hangers etc) and random butchers that had pig tails and dead chickens hanging up with the Arab workers trying to move to you lol. I went again for the first time 2/3 years ago after like a 5 year break and I saw a cheese and wine shop lmao.

[@PassportHeavy]

Everything changes that's why we have to make the most of it.

[@MIMI232]

+BelizeHunni not 'aunties hairdressers & Arabs trying to move to you' LMAO I died laughing, this is so accurate yet hella funny! My mum said they only chat to you cos they want you to buy their meat! lol

[@Hannah-c2k7j]

Yep like Deptford lol

[@Curvesohyeah]

LMAO! Exactly...Arab/Asian workers asking you 'wha ah gwan Sister'.....WTF???

[@Ty-J_250]

Same as Hackney

[@dianadamcknight9902]

I have always wanted to visit Brixton for years!!! I finally got a chance to visit 2 weeks ago...MAN...I LOVED THAT AREA!! I went to Brixton Village too!!

[@AANDYist]

Rich ppl are moving to Brixton because they can't afford central London anymore. Only the super rich can like Russians etc.

[@sgrfpprmnt]

Gentrify the fuck out of it, asap.

[@annoymous7052]

Majority of Russians are not rich majority acc live in d hoods like newham nd Thamesmead

[@Goonerette75]

Brixton has lost a lot of its unique characteristics that made it special. The main hub of Brixton Road now looks like every other high street in London. The market has lost its spark. It's so gentrified now, that it's almost unrecognizable.

[@toussantlbisso]

Sounds like Harlem usa

[@Lady_Tee15]

Ebony Kingston 😢😭

[@theandroids]

same thing happened to clapham high street

[@johnmartin6579]

Ebony Kingston you blacks have become passive and happy go lucky smiling and laughing every time, whilst the middle-class Anglos come and colonised your area, I blame the blacks for not standing their ground

[@Goonerette75]

John Martin: I wondered how long it would take for your ilk to pipe up. You sound like one of those racist colonists. And I can bet that you're one of those Anglo's whose come in, pumped in new money into an area and not given a xxxx about the people who were there before.

[@cupidgal]

You are so right.. I visited Brixton about 15 years ago it reminded me so much of Brooklyn..I will definitely visit again next time I am in London.

[@PassportHeavy]

Do it

[@cheyennedaley6027]

I really want to say don't even bother visiting because it has had so much of its soul ripped out of it. But for the simple fact that I refuse to have my people driven out, I encourage you to visit

[@GrenadianDaisyChain]

I lived in Brixton from the 80's to the end of the 90's. The community spirit was strong, white and black neighbours looked out for one another. Yes there were drugs and high rate of crime, but also there was high unemployment. There was police brutality and intimidation, which was done openly. If a neighbour had no food, the Street (white and black) would pull together and help that neighbour. This was the Brixton I lived in. I moved out of Brixton once the yuppies arrived as it became too expensive to live there. All the wonderful small businesses struggled with the high rents. 2 years ago I returned to Brixton and found that corporations had taken over and all of the small businesses I remember had gone, the wonderful characters of Brixton had gone, the spirit of the Brixton I remember had gone.

[@womblowbobble1139]

Kat Pursoo nah it ain’t gone at all

[@bthechurch7877]

💯💯💯😣

[@youngabdi1524]

That’s a lie styll they don’t look out for each other

[@ayyywerelisteninghere1022]

Gentrification works two ways my man, 40/50 years ago places like Croydon, Thornton Heath, South Norwood were nice places to live, nowadays not so great... Anywhere that's near central London that's been gentrified and you're nostalgic about way back when it was a shithole you are a damn fool. I think it's great that people can go to Brixton, have a bite to eat, go to the market, walk the streets and not be afraid for their lives. How is that not good???

[@lorraine96smith56]

I disliked every single thing about this. Brixton was built on the backs of Caribbean immigrants and white working class people, living together and creating a diverse and unified community that respected and embraced each other's struggle and culture. The white and black market venda's and their customers were friends because you were regulars to their stalls, and they watched their customers children grow up. There was nothing like the Carribean food shops, and the pulsating vibes from the music distributors which brought people from all corners to the area. Brixton was full of heart, soul and LIFE! The community that made up Brixton, welcomed and embraced everyone from all ethnicities, races and classes. That is why when describing the Brixton of today the same warm sentiments can not be made. To me and many others who know and remember what the true meaning of community is, are saddened to see what Brixton and many other Carribean and working class areas in London and across the world have become. Brixton is now souless and baron, just like the elite and cold people who frequent or live in the area. Where you use to smile at people as you passed them, today's Brixton regulars and inhabitants don't even look at you. They Focus only on the ones that look like them to drawn strength in the pretence that the space they now frequent is hip and diverse! KMT! Unless you are like the minority who are excited by the changes that have taken place, namely the middle class and so called hipsters. You will not feel nor will you ever welcome the under handed policies and deals such as quadrupling business rents, compulsory purchasing for those who were able to buy their council property in the area and then moving the remaining council tenants to properties outside the borough. All of this done so that a certain class could TAKE over. Brixton today is nothing more than a picture of what social and ethnic cleansing looks like and I for one, feel no excitement about it. If anything I see it for what it is, nothing more than ugly and damn right criminal behaviour. Which the elite minority have gotten away with for centuries, namely take and in the process destroy and discredit any accomplishments made by black and working class people then lie and credit any acomplishments as being their own. No I do not celebrate the so called 'new Brixton' as it clearly demonstrates the fear that a particular class have for the progress and unity of a particular race and class of people.

[@bthechurch7877]

I haven't been home in about 30 years. I stay connected through family and keep up from time to time whats been going on and what family tell me its like now. I cant believe it, my heart aches with sadness to know all that I remembered as a child...Saturday shopping in Brixton in the tunnel, with the street vendors, butcher shops seeing, seeing the rasta shops and hearing the music vibes and the great culture like you PERFECTLY described is nothing now but a memory of the past. 💔😢😩

[@amiyrbarclift1640]

I'm watching this years after it was made in 2022 and as a Brooklyn native who is about to visit London this made me want to make it at least part of my London itinerary. Thanks PPH for keeping us up to date on what to see out there.

[@richelletvforyou8324]

Same! Grew up in East Flatbush in 80s, now barely recognize a lot of Brooklyn. Definitely need to hit Brixton on my trip before it's too late smh

[@Zlervo]

One of the saddest things about Brixton is that the arches are being refurbished, forcing people to shut up shop and lose business. When those arches reopen the rent is going to triple meaning many won't be able to return. Businesses that have been there for years had to close 😓

[@animbot6817]

Never been to Brixton but just based off of what I'm seeing and his description in the video it reminds me alot of NY. Brooklyn and some parts of the Bronx. Strong West Indian culture but a mix of alot of other cultures as well. Even though I've never been there it feels very familiar.

[@SuperHtownswag]

I love how the background music segways into reggae when he talks about brjxton.

[@PassportHeavy]

That would because of our amazing in house composer Isaiah Mcneill is an magician.

[@amiralamb]

That’s the area I’ve always thought of when considering a visit to London. The music out of there in the early 00s was 🔥.

[@myattsfieldnorthramb9586]

From a born & bred Brixtonian thanks for your positive profile of Brixton. We think its special too.

[@madamshante17]

Do you have plans to ever go to more of Africa? Middle East? Places that people look down on or maybe places that are not showcased by big time travelers/expats like you? No hate, just would love to see someone in your position truly shed light- most of the places in your videos are over populated on the internet of others journeys But thank you for showing another sife of London, this is awesome.

[@PassportHeavy]

We just filmed some epic Africa content. It's on the way

[@madamshante17]

PassportHeavy Wow, great I can't wait to see and share that. Thank you for the response.

[@geezergains4843]

[@afternoondelight6741]

Well travelled, articulate, educated, a sense of humor and handsome too...DAYUUUUUUUUMMMM!!! Thanks for a different look at London...

[@NeutralGenius369]

yeah I thought you would be doing more videos in Africa. If theres any place in the world that people have a misunderstanding about, it's definitely the countries in Africa. I'm sure I speak for a lot of viewers when I say we would love to see you go to Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Senegal, Coast of Ivory, etc. SOMEWHERE

[@makehumanitygreatagain8128]

Nah! I say let people continue to misunderstand. Let Africa be, in peace.

[@nicolecooper1569]

He's in South Africa now. I think Jubril is Nigerian, so he'll probably go there.

[@NeutralGenius369]

Nicole C Thats whatsup. South Africa is one of those places I believe most of western civilization are familiar with simply because of it's history. Still would be dope to see, can't wait for that episode to drop. Nigeria's club scene is most def for Jubril

[@Dan_Therapist]

Windhoek, Namibia 💕💕💕 been Zambia, Botswana, but no Namibia yet

[@menamena5354]

He's already done a video in Nigeria.

[@samjones4327]

Thank you much for the information! I will most definitely be visiting Brixton when I come to London. I just hope the spots you showed are still there when I visit! Peace🙌🏽

[@JamesandKiimmy]

Eyyyy you done Brixton proud 💯🙌🏼

[@PassportHeavy]

appreciate it * Jubril

[@Rob4God41]

You're videos are so energetic and motivating. It makes me want to travel to places I've never thought about. It's because of your video on Thailand I decided to celebrate my 50th birthday there.

[@BanaMUA]

Not all change is good change. What's happening in south is happening all over London; Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Wood Green are just some of the places in London that have become overly gentrified, people are being priced out of their homes and community. If this video has inspired you to visit London then by all means come, you'll probably still have an amazing time! It's just a shame you didn't get the chance to see London before this ongoing transformation

[@LHudsonARTLIFTS]

But the takeover by none whites in London was a good change?

[@roscoealpha4102]

Liam Hudson They seem to forget Liam, that London is the capital of England, originally full of white English people, and here they are making said whites seem like they are in the wrong because people choose to bring a coffee shop business to a place of their choice in a free open market. what they are basically saying is they wish that this particular place could be locked off from white people, noticed how no other races are really mentioned. Only in the western world would you hear complaints of people in their 500 dollar iPhone complaining about being oppressed because someone wanted to bring in a nice new shop. Diversity only seems to be supported when it benefits certain races I see! This comment section makes it clear. What about what Brixton was before the Jaimaicans took over? I'll give you a hint, white people had to move out for them to move in.

[@SI-cd7xs]

Wood Green gentrified? I wish. It's a shithole.

[@BanaMUA]

Liam Hudson what take over?

[@BanaMUA]

Roscoe Alpha If you choose to spew racist speech at least come correct and add facts into your argument. Your whole post seems to separate your truth from actual facts. This victimhood really won't get you anywhere I'm sorry to say.

[@flowerbuttercupb4]

yo my friend ja makin me feel mighty fine about London:))) thanks for your insight and your time mate:))) you've certainly given me a different way of viewing London..Cheers

[@vic3xog]

love the quality of these vid's, keep them coming, very inspiring..

[@PassportHeavy]

Appreciate the love... stay tuned

[@AANDYist]

Even tho not accurate

[@rajaisogono9584]

Thank you so much. For making this video I really appreciate it. I knew it was much more to London than what I saw on TV One Love

[@veronicaisayas1217]

Yep Brixton has suffered of gentrification at its best

[@fivefivevirgo4055]

Veronica Isayas just like Harlem.

[@lobz]

Wouldn't you say its a good thing ?

[@calmdown15]

Sorry but house prices are going up in London you guys have no right to live so close to the centre of London for virtually nothing, so you guys have to move somewhere else. Brixton went from white working class to immigrant working class to white middle class.

[@markant9534]

+Et Al All the working class people are being moved out of their homes so foreign investors can build posh flats that locals can`t afford, area`s are also losing a lot of Victorian buildings which are knocked down and replaced with private flats.

[@veronicaisayas1217]

calmdown5 first of all who the fuck is 'you guys' be racist with your chest, 2nd off all Brixton was deemed as the ghetto when immigrants settled there. Loooool 'you have to move somewhere else', English people told people that when they colonised lands hence why most of them moved here and now you are telling not them to move again.

[@mikestott8444]

Great Video Jubril. I really like how you digging deep to find those new happening spots where cultures are coming together! Its time for the world to unify!

[@phillipclark7358]

This for your vid! It was a great overview of how to discover the vibrant culture present in Brixton without just indulging in Hipsterfare. Went to London for the first time in December of last year and was literally overwhelmed by the diversity. It reminded me so much of NYC. I did spend most of my time in Central London and did typical touristy visits since it was my first time there and I only had a week. Next time, I definitely want to check out Brixton. It's sad to see how gentrification is unfortunately a worldwide phenomenon and is threatening to erase Black and Brown culture everywhere. Perhaps one day we'll get to community development without displacement.

[@Odehyah951]

You speak so well. You’re expressive and engaging. Refreshing change from other vloggers whose elocution skills are severely lacking.

[@mharrisonism]

Just seen your vid for the second time. I lived in that area for many years in the nineties and I as a white man did go around Brixton to the bars and clubs, Dogstar, The Fridge, The Academy and Basement Jaxx at Loughborough Junction so it's wrong of you to suggest that Brixton was a white free zone back then because it wasn't. Yes the crime was much higher than it is now but like anywhere if you're sensible and streetwise enough.

[@Proserpira]

Oh my god!! The place you're walking at 0:34 is Stockwell! I lived there for the first 10 years of my life. I recognised so many places you visited. I've lived in france 4 years and have been in Switzerland 10 years, and seeing anything Stockwell and Brixton related makes me so incredibly homesick...

[@PassportHeavy]

Yep

[@Krissykris123]

Videos like this is one of the reasons for the rapid gentrification in Brixton.

[@1blackfrend]

And just like THAT, you have one more subscriber bruh. Thankyou for this very well done video, great audio, vidual and editing

[@SoFrolushesTV]

Brixton just aint the same. Hopefully the cultures who made it what it is still get to stick around. Last time I was back home in South London, me and the fam saw a man lying down on the floor with a raw fish in his mouth( I got pics) whilst someone was taking pics. That is hipsters in Brixton for you. I never saw such madness when I used to pass through Brixton to go school. I am hoping that the cultures that made Brixton what it is still remain. Remember many African and Caribbean communities ended up in Brixton and other areas because they were deemed not good enough by the locals. Even Notting Hill is great because of the windrush generation and carnival.

[@jaym-bu3cr]

SoFrolushesTV in Brixton do white and black people marry or do people stick to their own race?

[@c3realK1ll4h]

James Mckay they do marry

[@BigBandelero]

Every time I watch one of your videos about a place, it makes me want to travel there. Proof that this channel is effective.

[@ringspanner]

In the 80's some friends and I went to Streatham ice rink (a stones throw from Brixton) and after about 20 mins, realised we were the only white people there and it was packed, but it was all cool and the worst thing that happened was being offered some hash. The best thing was the sound and lighting, it was like a nightclub with ice skating, awesome atmosphere.

[@quietman208]

Super professional, well made video. Love these, keep making more.

[@MIMI232]

He's right, I live in South London, Brixton is down the road from where I live & man....gentrification at it's finest! I HATE how much it's changed. So many hipster people there now! Even the Greggs bakery he walked into, which I can see from my living room window has been included in the gentrification lol It's looks so different now....sigh

[@MIMI232]

SW2 Eagle It really is, all over South London has changed so much!

[@XtoCee]

+Mich He's right. It was their fault for allowing Whites to gentrify the area. They were ignorant and naive of the future. They did not build and establish formidable infrastructure such as retail-shops, restaurants, and whatnot. Not even the basic types of infrastructure such as nuclear and extended families. Their community was already being gentrified right in front of their eyes when the Asians were owning a plethora of the corner stores in their community.

[@freddurst3573]

yes thats because its all part of the UN's agenda 21 which England officailly entered in 2000

[@elisiatraveller]

Nuff respect for this video. You are so well-travelled/well-researched. It's refreshing.

[@mohammedtasib7307]

Loving these Videos from Passport Heavy! Big Up

[@ThePharaohsCat]

Shame you didn't hit Brixton back in the 80s or maybe even 90s. It still had the downtown Kingston Jamaica energy back then. Visitors appreciated it as it was authentic, and the locals were cool. Gentrification is happening all over London (see Ladbroke Grove/Notting Hill) and all over the world. The question is does it benefit everyone? For me personally, knowing the old Electric Ave and All Saints Rd, the hipster vibe is just a sterile veneer that does not come close to the soul of the bad old days.

[@prfu1222]

Was just there 2 weeks ago. And I will go back. A Brooklyn boy looking at my gone too young R.I.P. NYC rappers murals had me shedding tears. Been showing pics to my friends and co-workers. This was number one on my list thanks to 'The Clash'.

[@LeeLee-nf5zy]

Brixton has changed dramatically over the years. I lived in London 1st time late 80's in North Harrow and Brixton was the only place I could find black hair products and salons....And I never seen a white person in Brixton back then..much different now, very diverse area..

[@PassportHeavy]

We feel you

[@radicaledwards3449]

Lesa Lynn you lived in north harrow but somehow missed harlesden?

[@LeeLee-nf5zy]

[@womblowbobble1139]

Chhabra kebabra Brixton hill

[@Citizen-of-theworld]

Brixton is interesting, but that’s just one of many vibrant diverse districts of London. What is great is that, you can enter all these different communities and the vast majority of people (from my experience) are friendly, or at least accepting of each other and appreciate the cultural differences.

[@therealeastchick2778]

Go to Portobello road, Ladbroke Grove. Gentrification is reallll down there.

[@Johnny100._1]

When I was in London I wanted to visit Brixton so bad we ran out of time though I'm from the west side of Chicago so the reputation didn't frighten us at all we wanted to kick it but now after seeing this we better hurry back it sounds like before we miss the heart and culture of the neighborhood great vlog!

[@pfcwells522]

Bro, really... That's just gentrification plan n simple. There is no community I heard of where once the hippies/yuppies come in, gentrification doesn't follow. look at Brooklyn, Harlem, DC, Baltimore, etc. that's enough of my soap box. I liked Brixton too. The fam been there for decades.

[@RevelationBlessed]

Argh you went to Brixton Village. Very cool. You should have checked out Peckham too and visited the Bagel Shop lol! The gentrification is so real though. Hipster central.

[@brook79a]

I love this video...I've always had a love hate relationship with Brixton (memories of my mum making me go shopping with her there lol) But the gentrification of the area and other places like Peckham does upset alot of people who had to deal with living in deprived areas and now theres money but not for locals? Feeling pushed out. But we have to be pro active and network, patronise each other and get involved. I like some of the new but not to the detriment of the old....

[@dru1894]

PERC GOD it's used to be full of Jamaicans, but not like that anymore. Just manage your expectations before you go LOLOL. Lots of upper middle class people due to gentrification. They even have Colombian restaurants there now!!

Perc God Beats Brixton is Full of young white professional racist people who like black stuff but can't stand black people.

[@Dream331]

Beautiful. I need to go back to London! That hop on hop off bus don't go to Brixton! lol

[@PassportHeavy]

Glad you liked it

[@needmorebands1284]

Dream331 yes it does actually number 3 from Oxford Circus to Crystal Palace goes straight through Brixton

[@Dream331]

Luke Stevens-cox cool though I wasn't aware of a number 3 hop on/hop off bus at the time I was in London but appreciate the response. Also wasn't aware of Brixton so I can't claim to have been looking for it. Next time I will. 😎🤘🏾 thanks!

The landscape of London has changed dramatically in the last 60 years. That doesn't need to be an inflammatory statement, modern London has profited from having a diverse population in many ways. But also any white person, especially in smaller cities in the UK, who are seeing their landscape change dramatically through immigration are called bigots and racists when this is pointed out and I believe this is what is driving normal people to vote for extremist political groups.

When I visited Peckham, my girls uncle trained Boxers in a gym in Brixton. So I was able to see it almost every day while I was there. The NOI has a mosques there also. I can't wait to go back, even though me and the girls are not together.

[@tchoubyweber906]

I love Brixton. the best place in London on my opinion. whenever I want to remember my country that's my place to be . cheers Brixton 🤗

[@andrewantwih7991]

Loving these videos. Just came back from Medellin on a boy's trip. I watched Passport Heavy before heading out there. Then I see this video and loved this one too! I visited London three years ago with my wife and Father in Law. We stayed in Central London (Westminster) but took the Tube to Brixton. Loved it!! My family is from Ghana so the sight and smells around the open air market that we visited were familiar to me. We actually got a word of mouth recommendation to a Ghanaian restaurant. My wife is from the US, so it was fun showing her the culture. Had some jollof rice, some fried plantain and some chichinga kabobs and watch Premier League futbol. It was all lovely! Sad to hear about the gentrification trend there. We have to get back there soon.

[@phenomena17]

your wrong brixton was first the jewish then black came after!

[@suekenya]

I moved from UK in 2000 to Canada, I love London hopefully someday I'll move back👌🏿 Brixton has definitely changed I never left so many restaurants... Thanks for update.. Following your travels...

[@d3Str0Y3r961]

What a shame Brixton is becoming white...

[@clintjohnson1023]

simon jones lol are you offended?😂😂😂

[@biniam147]

blacks made it what it is. a vibrant colorful place

[@richwicz]

It's great that it's becoming more white. It's about time these ghettoised areas of London were broken up. I want to see more of it.

[@Dan_Therapist]

But Britain is a white country lol...I don't understand.

[@bg5985]

simon jones every aspect of your life is influenced by it? can you elaborate?

[@Luckii333]

You did Brixton justice, it has changed so much for the better night life in Brixton is awesome

[@davidmesgna7704]

Its a whole new town compared to what it used to be, sad to see it all go. 15 years ago I remember going there to patties after school, was very Vibrant not to sure about it now. There was an amazing vinyl shop there too, Zombie sold some classics.

[@josephgonzalez2666]

Bro, the Jamaican food...nom nom nom. Looks sooooo good! I'm going to Brixton on my next trip.

[@viper_247]

Not just Brixton - gentrification is happening across London as a whole. Peckham, Harlesden, Hackney, Dalston, New Cross, Deptford.... it's been happening for years, and it's not going to stop. It's bullshit for anyone to try to say "oh we redeveloped this space, it was nothing", so what if you put a bar on an empty roof?, who do you see inside the place?, is it the locals?, no, it's not. Furthermore, if the locals tried to come in, security would be highly interested in them! The fact is, businesses don't open and then people follow, the businesses follow the people... so the guys who open that rooftop bar, they looked at the demographic of the area changing and they looked to exploit that, and what that does is, it catalyses the area to change even faster. You can influence people to move by building some nice apartments, but once you open a few coffee shops, galleries, restaurants, and a poncy rooftop bar, then the type of people those places attract will come on a night out and then be like "hmm, this area is nice, I'm gonna look to move here". Especially as London is a primarily rental type of city. Also - for the record, the idea that Brixton has any vibe any more is a fantasy to me. It has one, that's true, if you have money, there are certainly cool places to go out there, sure, but the idea it's at all representative of a night our in London is laughable and only someone who doesn't know this town would even suggest that. Brixton is a great example of a part of London that's had it's soul removed - the people who live there now might think they are hip to what it was, but anyone who's lived in this town for over 10 years will tell you, walking around that area now, it's a shadow of it's former self, it used to be buzzing (dangerous as f in certain areas for sure) but you could feel the vibes, day or night.... now it's dead, it's still noisy, but there's no soul in that noise. And that's not the fault of the people living there now, by no means... it's the fault of the former mayor (and to an extend the current one) who have allowed capitalism to rule over the lives of the people.
