Information About

Brixton Hill




Prior to the late 19th Century , the road was known as Brixton (or Bristow) Causeway On the eastern side of the road, a series of tree lined open spaces and front gardens are part of Rush Common - an area of common land supposedly subject to protection under an Act Of Parliament of 1811, but which has seen some incursions.

The name has subsequently been given to the residential areas on both sided of the road, and since 2002 , it has also been the name of an Electoral Ward of the London Borough Of Lambeth .

Brixton Hill was once served by a regular Tram service. It remains one of the busiest corridors for bus transport in Greater London .
