Within the South London borough of Lambeth lies Brixton; a multicultural area which has come to be known as London’s unofficial capital of the British Afro-Caribbean community. About 24% of the population in Brixton are from African of Caribbean descent.

The first wave of these immigrants arrived in 1948 on the ship “The Empire Windrush”, lending its name to the ‘Windrush generation’ of the Afro-Caribbean community. An advert had run in a Jamaican newspaper offering cheap transport to anyone who wanted to come to work in Britain. At this point, there were only 492 people who lived first in the Clapham South shelter, but many became permanent residents rather than returning home. That same year, Britain granted the right to British Citizenship to all citizens of Commonwealth countries.

The 50th anniversary of the ship’s arrival was marked in 1998 by the naming of ‘Windrush Square’. Also, Brixton’s reputation of being the ‘black soul’ of Britain lead to Nelson Mandela’s visit in 1996; the former South African president also has a street there named after him.

In 1999, a nail bomb was planted in Electric Avenue (famously sung about by Eddie Grant) by David Copeland, a neo nazi. He also planted other bombs around London in areas frequented by ethnic minorities or homosexuals. He was convicted and jailed in 2000 with six life sentences.

Brixton is mainly a residential area with six large housing estates, but it also has a retail sector and a market. Some grand Victorian housing remains, but much of the area looks more run down. Brixton is associated with gang and drug culture. Cannabis use is rife there, and used to be tolerated by the authorities. There has been a clamp down in recent years but it is unlikely that the consumption will ever be stopped altogether.

Many people visit the area to go to the Brixton Academy, which hosts large music concerts throughout the year.

Often, local gentlemen like to hire themselves a Brixton escort. Just like the multi ethnic community, escorts of every nationality are available for bookings. The girls are chosen for their good looks, charming natures and ability to provide the best quality companionship.
