It's almost impossible to get bored at Pop Brixton, as there's just so much to do there. This social hotspot is made up of repurposed shipping containers in the heart of Brixton, creating a space that's full of independent bars, restaurants, shops and more.

Brixton Jamm knows how to let loose with a fun variety of events. Choose from drag brunches, with entertainment from the sensational queens, Orange Gina and Ariel Bold, or opt for a Paint & Vino session, where you can practise your skills, all while quaffing wine.
