Who we are
Brixton Station Road Commnity 5treet Market is run by the Brixton Market Traders’ Federation CIC. That means it’s run by traders themselves, and any profit we make goes back into Brixton. It isn’t owned by a private corporation or run by the local authority, which makes it one-of-a-kind. There are three main street markets in Brixton: Electric Avenue, Popes Road and Brixton Station Road, and each has it's own unique character.
Brixton is an incredible hub
Central Brixton has what must be one of the densest concentrations of micro businesses anywhere in London - 3 street markets, 3 indoor markets, the Pop Brixton project and lots of independent shops and businesses mean there is a ton of enterprise and creativity in the neighborhood.
No market is an island
The street market is the beating heart of what makes this area so distinctive, so diverse and so loved by the community. But we are part of wider Brixton, and we take a connected view of our place here. We've spent decades building up relationships with other local business owners, shoppers and residents because we know that making Brixton the best it can be is a community effort and we do best when we work together.
Even better for the future
We’ve got a big social responsibility to hold onto that community spirit. To make Brixton an even better place to live, work and do business the market has to keep growing and keep up with the times. We need to grow a diverse mix of stalls and events; use technology cleverly to make us more efficient; make sure we're as welcoming and fun to visit as we possibly can be; and make sure we're working at full capacity to create the best offer for our customers and the best business for our traders.
We create job and volunteer opportunities, we help business start-ups get their feet off the ground. We also work with local charities and community groups – we’re already growing plants and flowers on the street, thanks to Brockwell Community Greenhouses and other locals who got stuck in.
In a nutshell, we’re doing everything we can to show people what Brixton has to offer.
