Brixton Rush Common
Lambeth, London
Brixton Rush Common sits south of Brixton town centre, running along Brixton Hill and wrapping the long linear common itself. The character is mid-Victorian terraces broken up by substantial villas on the common's edge. Twenty-two listed buildings include the Grade I Christ Church, the Grade II* Church of St Matthew and the Grade II* mausoleum of Richard Budd. Public transport is good via Brixton tube on the Victoria line and frequent buses along the A23, twenty-five outstanding schools lie within reach, and the food-and-drink scene draws on Brixton's night-time economy. Rush Common gives just under four hectares of open space. The drawbacks: air quality sits in the middling band thanks to Brixton Hill's traffic; safety readings track the London average rather than exceeding it; and green cover within the ward is modest, with larger parks like Brockwell and Streatham Common a walk away.
