Super trendy spot. Fun place to walk around if you're in the neighborhood. Range of food and drink options. Got a cocktail at a place called BBB based on the receipt and it was solid. read more

I've been meaning to come to Pop Brixton ever since I heard that Zoe's Ghana Kitchen was taking residence. I finally came here with a large group of friends a few weeks ago, and again a few times during #SecretBrixton. I really liked the place and thought it had a great atmosphere. My first visit was on a mild afternoon. It was really relaxing with music playing and we enjoyed a few pints on the upper level about a Far East type of alley with street food outlets. There were German, Mexican, Vietnamese, Japenese selections to name a few., with further outlets set in sea containers spread and stacked around the Pop Brixton complex. The next few times I visited were in the evening for the Yelp #secretBrixton events. It was much busier, and the wetaher was not so great. This did not hinder the experience though. We donned our Yelp ponchos and just got on with enjoying ourselves. There was also a large enclosed area where dj's and bands played music throughout the evening. I really liked this venue and hope to venture back during the summer and enjoy a beer in the sun. read more

A good space and alternative to Brixton Market. The hipster version that gives you a flavour of all the pop up eats London has, but finally south of the river. I can't help feel a bit disappointed that there is not enough eateries here though. Maybe I'm used to quite a few more at the street feasts but I wanted a few more especially in the emptier spaces around back. Saying that Koi the Japanese place does some awesome Ramen (one of my favs) with a great price point. Also Miss P's BBQ does some of the best BBQ meat in town so they've got quality there. Along with New Zealand wines and English ales there is a a promising feel to this place. I look forward to the summer months when this can be appreciated fully. read more

I like the idea of this place. They took a bunch of old shipping containers and put them into a square with a bunch of pop-up restaurants. There is a central sitting area with tables, and tables scattered around as well, nice and colorfully painted. And it is probably a fun place to visit in the evening with friends for a drink. However, the implementation isn't that great. Of the two places I've eaten, I was not impressed with the quality of the food or how long it took them to make it. I went for lunch one day when it was dead and the place I ordered from took an extremely long time to make it and it wasn't that good. And the other reason for three stars is the music. If you sit in the middle you will hear music from three different places at once. The main music, plus music that individual restaurants are playing. Annoying. read more

Yeah, I am a fan. We were recommended to go here and thought "why not?". At first glance we did not figure out the fuss, but after having tasted the one nice dish after the other, some wine and beer, we were very pleased with the recommendation. It was a bit tight and crowded, but it worked pretty well even so. Personal favourites: - Try the beef salad at the Viet Nam unit. (Not sure about the name). Their beef salad beats every beef salad I have ever tried. Fresh ingredients and the sauce was just perfection. I could taste the fish sause, the coriander, the lime..everything was just well put together and well balanced. - Yumitub for some nice ice cream! Just choose what ingredients you want and get a nice treat! I like the concept as well and it is a good thing that start-ups have a chance to establish themselves as well. I will go back next time in London! read more

I'd like to go back on a regular day when it isn't so crowded. Yesterday, being a special event, the crowds were huge and the vendors were overworked and lines were long. Whatever food I did get to taste, was good. But I'd like to go back when the people are less harried and more relaxed. We did try sausage burgers from World of Wurst, Goat Curry and Jollof rice from Zoe's Ghana Kitchen, dumplings from Koi and pachos from Baba G's. However, given the crowds, forget the free food, most vendors had run out of all their top selling items by 7:30-8:00. Which is why I'd definitely like to go back on a nice sunny afternoon. After 16 months of living in London, I finally arrived at Brixton, so I do have to thank the event for that read more

Cross between a WeWork and retail/food court. Constructed out of shipping containers. Very cool & anti-corporate.

Brixton's latest addition and a hipster favourite, this venue is boxpark 2.0 now updated with more reclaimed wood, twinkly lights and actual complex architecture. Simply stacking containers is so 2014 after all. Cynicism aside, the new maze like south London venue is a small food and drinks haven, as the shops have become smaller in size to allow for a greater selection of items on offer. Japanese, Vietnamese and other Asian cuisines can be found next to tacos and German sausages and an array of craft beers you would not find in your local pub (unless your local pub is on Germany). Once you have selected what you want to have you can head to one of the yards, there's a coupe of open spaces and one conservatory type structure at the top where the seats are made of cheap wooden planks. Despite the fact that it was rainy when I visited, the place still had a lot of customers, who were not scared away by the weather. I do think though that on a warm day it will be packed so a rainy day that is not particularly cold may be your best bet when you want to visit. Also make sure to take lots of photos as this place is perfect for selfies. read more

Went on a Saturday night with some friends, and we had a good time. The variety of stalls available was good, ranging pizza and hot dogs to Vietnamese and Ghanan food. I had German hot dogs, Japanese kyoza and smores for dessert, and left feeling happy and full. Venue is cool and hip, though it wasn't as spacious or proper as I had imagined it to be. There is very limited seating space, so be sure to get there early or have a strategy to getting a table. Afterwards, we hopped over to Brixton Village for drinks, all of which were in good proximity, so was very convenient. Could be a good evening out if you plan appropriately. read more

Big fan of this set up for a couple of reasons. One: it looks great. The guys who did the design and build have nailed it. It's not a huge space that can cater for masses but it has the ability to still feel full even with 10 people there. Lots of places to sit upstairs and eat and lots of plant boxes etc to perch on when enjoying so food/drink/music. There is options of cover when it is raining but most of it is inside. Two: The selection of food is excellent. There's savoury crepes, pizza, ramen/gyoza, tacos, grilled meat, jerk, cup cakes/macarons, coffee/juice and vietnamese. There are three tiny restaurants on offer to- tapas brought to you by Donostia, Hook fish and chips and Kricket Indian foods. I have probably missed some of the traders and I will assume there is probably a burger somewhere in that mix! Three: Great music! Usually African. Love. Four: There is stuff going on that isn't just 'consumable' fun such as quirky clothes shops, gift shops, arty things etc. There are also various events particularly focused on the community so keep an eye on their website/follow them on social media. Five: There is caffeine here and it is decent. AND last but certainly not least: The booze!! So, as you may expect at a pop up such as this, you can find a large array of craft beer producers such as brixton, beaver town etc etc you know the deal. There is also a large selection on gins on offer. They are a little on the ex-y side but it's nice to have choice. My favourite booze here is the New Zealand wine shop. They often have tastings on and you can get a great bottle of wine to share for a good price. Their selection is great. They are also worth a twitter follow to keep up dated with what's on. And now... Pop Brixton is expanding. Literally watch this space... read more

I fell in love with Pop Brixton when I came to the Secret Brixton event with Yelp, however I did return recently and without the buzz of lots of people around and with some of the eateries closed, on my second visit, I wasn't overly impressed. It is definitely one of those places that your experience will change depending on what the weather is like! It is mostly outdoors bar a small indoors seating area upstairs that gets filled up pretty quickly. They also have heaters outside but to be honest even if they're on you can't feel them. If you compare it to somewhere like Street Feast then there's no comparison really, that place is good rain or shine. However, there are some great eateries/businesses here. Brixton Brewery being a favourite, I hadn't heard of them before my first visit to Pop Brixton and I'm definitely a fan of theirs now. Also I purposely came to visit Pop Brixton once just to go to Kricket who get a big tick from me too. Made of Dough is amazing, so is the taco place....but I showed my partner these places and did a tour around which only seemed to take a few minutes and he was just like 'oh, is that it then!? Isn't there any other places?' To be fair, as I mentioned before, some were closed but still it just didn't have that buzzy vibe where I wanted to stay all night and explore all of the different options. It was also cold and raining heavily so we left after about an hour and a half. Great to come here in the sunshine and also good to pop in for an hour or so if you really want to try one of the star eateries, otherwise I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here for a whole evening/day sadly. Good and thumbs up but not brilliant - I'm doing a jump up and down happy dance. read more

Very nice hang out place, a lot of seatings but not much choices of shops. Or rather some are closed. We drove almost 2 hours just to get here (from west london) just to try the Thai Ice Cream... It was a Sunday afternoon and the vibe was just like an easy lazy Sunday... The place had beanbags under the stairs for cozy seating... The place needs a bit more lighting though... We saw that there's a place that has live music. They also have a cool looking barbershop over there. Very Cool & Hip! read more

Need a tasty, warm ramen to melt your heart? Then this little pop up store is the place to go. The broth is soo yummy and you can add as many extra on to your ramen as you can handle. I recommend the egg, you only need half, full one seems too much for me, however if you love your eggs, these are cooked perfectly! The Pork Tonkotsu is their star seller and it's for a very good reason. You might not get a seat at the bar on a busy night. But there are other seating areas around so move along and enjoy the surroundings. I think compared to Shoryu , the dish is a little on the small side, but after slurping the soup, yes you should do that! I was surprisingly full so maybe my eyes are bigger than my stomach... Need to return to Pop Brixton to try out other venues! read more

This place is super cool. Ample seating all over the place, a plethora of different eating options, and a little garden area that's refreshing even on a rainy day (most days ;) ) I'm impressed with how well they put together everything and how it seems like you keep finding new little places despite the space not being huge. A cool place to hang out to drink, or eat, or sit and talk...and conveniently right by the station. read more

Excellent place to spend an evening! Great selection of bars and food venders make this a perfect place to go with a group of friends, especially if you can never agree on anything. Seating is slightly limited so I would suggest not going too late Friday/Saturday evening unless you want to stand. The price are more reasonable than some of the other street food markets around and the staff are super friendly! It's fast becoming one of my favourite places in Brixton. read more

Fun cool space made with old shipping containers. It's all new and you can still smell the odour of wood from the particleboard furniture upstairs. Food is decent enough and cheap. Nothing will blow your mind away but it does the trick. Koi Ramen is tasty although slightly unwieldy to eat if you can't find a decent place to sit (this is a two handed endeavour). Wurst has tasty sausages and I loved the typically undersized German buns. Viet Box has flavoursome food. Their Vietnamese octopus bruschetta is delicious but there was way too much sauce. I would have preferred it lightly dressed as there was a good half cup of dressing swimming at the bottom of the container which my friend drank! read more

Two levels. Zoe's Ghana Kitchen is upstairs. Worth a shot!! Also the at Pop Brixton is cool multiple restaurants from Vietnamese Pho to brick oven Pizza to pubs etc. lots of cafeteria seating very casual. Recommended for the out of towner and local alike. There is also Indian food. Each vendor sets their own prices. Convenient and walking distance from the train station and good eats. Steady flow of customers. So if you want a beer, crafted cocktail or gelato there is something for everyone. I'll be back. Lots of small vendors with good eats. There are many people from all walks of life and it's very casual no need to get dressed up. Convenient from the 250, 450 buses You can enjoy an open air area to eat. read more

I really enjoyed heading down to Brixton last week and was really impressed with this collective of independent bars and shops existing just 5 mins walk from the tube stop. Bars, shops, places to hang and roam - you're talking about some serious good eats and drinks! My stand out places I purchased food from were: *Mama Jerk - amazing wings and the wraps are huge! *Bhangra Burger - very nice saag paneer burger with lovely spicy fries. *The German bar downstairs - quality German beer *The small craft beer bar downstairs - very local hoppy goodness - ticked all the boxes for me! Not so great was the coffee bar near the entrance unfortunately, not sure how the flat white's tasted so off (heard this from a few peeps too) - meaning that nearby Federation was well visited. Overall a great place to hit and there's loads of other places I want to try too like the Ghanaian kitchen, sounds and looks awesome! read more

As far as pop ups go, and food fests go, this one seemed to hit just above the others in a few areas. First off - NO COVER. Unlike Street Feast or even the beach pop up down the road, there is no charge just to get in the door. Good on you, Pop Brixton. The stalls are small and varied - Tacos, savory crepes, ramen, African ... With gin spots, beer spots and cocktail spots galor. Reasonably priced (for this sort of thing). Plenty of space and seats, with plenty of varying views, without just dumping everyone onto picnic tables. There's even a little cubby hole for hiding away from the crowd and eating your quesadilla in peace on a bean bag chair. I personally loved the overall layout. It was winding and stacked and you could go up stairs or down narrow alleys reminiscent of the Golden Gai and discover hidden spots like the hideaway mentioned above. We spent a good hour up high overlooking the crowd in relative peace while chatting. Once we were more tipsy we completely changed the vibe by moving to the ground floor to feel more in the mix. It worked great. Real bathrooms with flushing toilets, running water and soap that lasted all night. read more

Hmmmm so....its not that I don't like Pop Brixton its just than London is now becoming full of exciting outdoor feeding spots and I just feel like these guys are at the back of the line. Individually some of the pops are great but a collection if I compare it to a Street Feast its now even in the same league. With other similar concept areas appearing in the area they for me need to step up or step aside. Highlights for me at Pop would be ....well...hmm that's just it I am not sure there is a highlight its just all a bit A-ok. read more

Looks like I'm going to be the sole dissenter here. I am not a fan of this place. Yes, I agree that it's a clever use of space and a great way of getting people to this wonderful neighbourhood. Several of the food stalls looked appealing, and I even watched a few minutes of what appeared to be an African dance class here. But that's my problem with it: it feels like a commercialization of the area that misses the point. The demographics of Pop Brixton visitors are in stark contrast to the demographics of the area: I didn't spot any locals here. Perhaps it's because the food is more expensive and largely misses the unique culture of the area (e.g. African and Caribbean). Just a few doors down, the Brixton Village, Saturday market, and small shops are truer to the neighbourhood, and you can find locals mixing with visitors. I hate getting into debates about gentrification, but I personally couldn't be in this space without feeling like an intruder consuming a fabricated interpretation of the area. read more

Pop Brixton is a new project in Brixton. A mix between an architecture project and a local entrepreneurship supporting initiative. The result is a nice, trendy, a bit "have you noticed my shoes that I bought in shoreditch" type of thing with a lot of local businesses - food stalls, artecrafts, bars... Opened 2 days ago, it is already very popular. To give you a flavour, it looks like a small village made of shipping containers turned into business units. We tried some tacos, the Brixton IPA, tapas (go upstairs to get them). Everything was really good and yummy. There was also some live jazzy - cuban music which made the whole thing pretty chilled. It is worth going and spending a few hours as it is very "laid back" as my american friends would put it. The only issue - which is not a small one - is that this is not the Brixton spirit over there. When you reach the entrance of the village it is like you have travelled from Kingston, Jamaica, to Shoreditch by just crossing the road. But guess what, many parts of London are going through this anyway... deal with it my friend!! read more

It does get quite cold at night so take a warm coat as the heaters are not sufficient. I was not impressed at all. Some vendor were quite rude about the fact that they did not have any free samples left, clearly they know nothing about customer service. Although there was a place that did really good gyoza. I just had to have more. read more

Fun space with some nice bars, shops and restaurants. The selection of food is excellent, you have a nice selection of booze stops and some gift and clothes shops. We had a very nice Ramen at Koi and a beer. The place was crowded but we had nice seats on the upper deck. The setting are shipping containers with some raw wooden elements. But this space is definitely more Shoreditch than Brixton;-). read more

Been here a couple of times, and popped in again this weekend. More units are open than the first weekend and it's definitely getting there in being a great place to drop in for varied food and drink options. There are some lovely places to eat include fish and chips, now, pizza and ice cream and a fair few places to sit too and I'd be interested to watch some performances on the stage. I think it will become a summer must in Brixton. read more

Awesome pop up bars, shops and restaurants. All the food is delicious and a great atmosphere. Slight lack if toilet facilities and they only take cash.

Super popular outdoor street food area in Brixton, all the vendors operate from small shipping containers. The food is generally of a very high standard so make sure you are hungry before you go! It's a real treat to be there when they have live music on as it adds to an already friendly and laid-back atmosphere. read more

I like this place, I do and I think come the summer I'd love to spend evenings down here munching on the food with a few drinks and friends however it was toooo early in Spring to enjoy as it is all outside (I was just too cold). I also came during an event so it was soooo busy and getting any food meant long queues - not what I enjoy. I can really recommend Donastio however I didn't get to try much else. Dying to try the pizza and the Baba G's. For me PopBrixton is too far out the way from where I live when there are other fab street markets nearer. read more

Brilliant concept! This place is fun and is host a lot of different events. Went there for a Brazilian party and we fore sure thought we were in rio celebration carnival. The DJ was great and full of mature people. Great vibe, descent food and very affordable. read more

Originally heard about Otherside Fried being in Pop Brixton so went to check it out, not knowing what to expect. The curious entrance shady entrance was hiding a brilliant marketplace-type open space in which it was easy to just wander the spaces between the converted shipping containers that were now food stands. Overall it was a good experience and I will definitely be back to try the other places. read more

Many stalls but poorly signposted. Not easy to find places to sit down and eat when busy. More like a place for a drink and quick nibble. Great vibe and atmosphere. read more

Great atmosphere in here. I didn't have food - just came for drinks after dinner and it was so fun. It was really busy but not too busy - we still managed to find a table. My only complaint would be that is closed so early! read more
