SW2 is the area postcode for Brixton, but in fact the centre of what people think of as Brixton town straddles the boundary between SW2 and SW9, which the post office considers to be Stockwell.
The boundary is fairly arbitrary, even plain wrong to anyone who knows the area. To the west of the town centre, the boundary runs north of the Clapham–Camberwell axis; to the east, it runs south of it.
To add to the confusion, parts of SW4 — technically Clapham — have quite a Brixton feel to them.
SW2 contains Brixton Prison and the Ritzy cinema, while it transpires that Brixton's stations, its famous street markets, the Brixton Academy music venue and even Brixton's main retail post office are actually (according to their postcode) in Stockwell. (although the sorting office, from whence the mail is delivered, is in Brixton, in Blenheim Gardens).
London Cycling Campaign's vision is to make London a world class cycling city.
The majority of London Borough Councils participate in the Taxicard Scheme, which provides their disabled residents with subsidised journeys in accessible taxis.Ring 020 7484 2929 for more information about Taxicard.
