There is an interesting arcade in South London. There are restaurants and shops. There are many different national cultures here.
There are people from many different countries living in London. Even people from the UK have different family roots.
I went to Brixton Market in South London last week. Look at the picture (on my website). Can you tell which country the shops are from?
This market was originally an old shopping street. The old vegetable and fruit shops and the general stores seem to be run by Afro-Caribbean people. There are also many fish shops. There are Asian and Latin American shops as well. It is conveniently close to the train station; in the 2000s there were plans to sell it to a developer and build a new building there. But there was a big campaign against it by shops and locals to preserve the history and culture of the town, and the plans disappeared. Since then, small, unique new shops have sprung up in the market. It has become a popular place to eat, with good, reasonably priced food. I enjoy thinking about where to eat today.
