Probably a lot of these actually do exist somewhere in the world. |

Electric Avenue is a street in Brixton, London. Built in the 1880s, it was the first market street to be lit by electricity. Today, the street contains several butchers and fish mongers and hosts a part of Brixton Market, which specializes in selling a mix of African, Caribbean, and Portuguese products. It is located just round the corner from Brixton tube station . The elegant Victorian canopies over the pavements survived until the 1980s.
Brixton has its own currency that a lot of the shops and market stalls take, the Brixton pound. |
