Brixton

Andrew - friend from work - had been in the US for a bit, and arrived back today - I also managed to find out it was actually his birthday. So an impromptu evening out in Brixton ensued. I seem to be getting over my phobia of going South of the river - Brixton in particular is impressively vibrant and actually quite exciting.

We started off with pizza at Franco Manca - where I have been a few times before - then walked across the "street" to a bar called 7, wherein we had embarrassingly cheap cocktails. I tend to think of cocktails as something synonymous with really smart hotel bars in St. James's, and can easily be around the £15 or 20 mark - herein they had a bunch at £5, and when I asked for a negroni - not on the main list - I was warned that was going to be a heady £7. It's a different world South of the river.
