Brixton Market in Electric Avenue, 2007
Electric Avenue is a street in Brixton, London built in 1888.[1] It was the first market street to be lit by electric lights.[2][3] Today, Electric Avenue contains national retail chains (Boots, Greggs, and Iceland), plus various local food and housewares retailers. It also hosts a part of Brixton Market, which specialises in selling African, Caribbean, South American, and South Asian[4] products. It is located just around the corner from Brixton Underground station (1972). The street originally had cast iron Victorian canopies[5] over the pavement, which were damaged in World War 2 and removed in the 1980s.
