This modern townhouse spans two light-filled floors, cleverly designed to feel serene and spacious. A bedroom and bathroom sit on the ground floor with access to a pretty little garden, while upstairs you’ll find an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area lined with bookshelves – a perfect spot to relax after a day in the city. The location couldn’t be better either: a ten-minute stroll takes you into Brixton, twenty minutes to Camberwell, and with the tube close by, the rest of London is within easy reach.

Home truths
Your host provides a starter supply of tea and coffee as well as toiletries, but you might want to bring your own to top this up. The nearest supermarket for stocking up is a few minutes walk away.
There's no television in this home, which we think only adds to the serene atmosphere.
Self-check-in is available here. You'll either pick up the keys at a nearby property or use a lockbox on the premises. Your host will confirm instructions before your arrival.
Your host uses a third-party platform called Truvi for ID verification and to manage damage deposits independently from Plum Guide. They'll send you a link to fill out when you book.

About Brixton
Brixton is scruffy and proud of it. It's an incredibly colourful and vibrant area with its own distinctive personality. There's never a dull moment: there's the foodie haven of Brixton Village Market crammed full of independent pop-up restaurants to explore, as well as the historic Ritzy arthouse cinema across the road, and the legendary Brixton Academy, one of London's hottest live music venues. Oh and you can zip up to Oxford Circus in no time at all on the Victoria Line.

Eat A Juicy Burger at Honest
Head to Honest Burger in Brixton Village for your gourmet burger fix. These guys are serious about great patties and won’t let you down. Their rosemary fries are to die for.
Drink a Cocktail at Shrub and Shutter

Drink Coffee at Federation Coffee
This local cafe is in the covered part of Brixton market serving brews for aficionados plus freshly made snacks and cakes. Try the anzac biscuits.
Japanese Food at Okan
This simple, no frills Japanese restaurant serves up traditional okonomiyaki street food. That means Japanese pancakes to the most of us.
Pancakes at Senzala
If you want a great brunch spot, this is your hosts favourite. Especially the pancakes. Sweet or savoury, up to you. But just try them!
History class at the Imperial War Museum
If everyone is old enough this is a fun way to learn about modern British history. Recently refurbished and with a lovely Cafe, it is one of the most popular museums in town.
Wander through Ruskin Park
It's well maintained, easy to access off Denmark Hill and ideal to wander round. You'll spot its beautiful Victorian bandstand and it's also the home of South London's finest Flying Trapeze school.
Have a beer in the sun at the Fox On the hill
While it's a Wetherspoon pub and so might not please those after top-notch ale, it has the largest outdoor space around, with plenty of benches on the field in front to soak up the sun in the summer.
Experience Cricket at The Oval
Immerse yourself in the history of Surrey Cricket Club at The Oval, take a guided tour to see the Pavilion, changing rooms, and the boundary. Enjoy a day of great cricket and entertainment.
Experience the vibrant Brixton Village Market
Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of Brixton Village Market, where global food outlets and local independent traders offer a diverse range of cuisines. Explore this cultural hub that combines authentic old Brixton with new culinary experiences.
Catch a film at Whirled Cinema
