Brixton has long been on the map as a night time destination. The renowned Ritzy Cinema opened in 1911 and the world famous Brixton Academy, opened in 1929, heading a thriving live music and nightclub scene which includes The Electric, Phonox, The Dogstar, The Windmill, and many others. Since the late 1940s, Brixton has been home to a significant afro-caribbean population who made Brixton famous for ska, reggae and R&B; constantly celebrated through events and exhibitions at The Black Cultural Archives. The Somerleyton Road development will provide a new home to the Oval House Theatre, further adding to Brixton’s night time offer.
