While London has no shortage of fine dining options, fans of exotic food and nightlife can take the tube to Brixton in South West London, a well-known haven for musicians, artists, and activists. Along with an array of eccentric marketplaces, organic eateries, and late-night bars, you can sample your way through a variety of international cuisines including African, Caribbean, Indonesian, and Portuguese, a sound cultural alternative to traditional London pub food and high-end dining. Don't miss Brixton Market, chock full of vendors selling everything from African spices to cassava to Guyanese curries.
