Pop Brixton Could Be Demolished to Make Way for Two Housing Towers
Briefly

Lambeth Council and London Square propose a mixed-use development that may replace Pop Brixton. The plan includes two high-rise towers and 280 homes, with 40% designated as affordable. Alongside residences, the project aims to provide workspace, an enterprise hub, and improved public spaces totaling 4750 square meters. The project is in the draft proposal stage and is undergoing public consultation, with feedback requested prior to the future planning submission. Construction, if approved, is planned to commence in mid-2027 and conclude by 2030.
Pop Brixton has served as a vibrant community hub for a decade, featuring regular events and housing various street food vendors, but it has struggled financially.
The new development plan includes two towers, 280 homes, with a minimum of 40% being affordable, and aims to improve public spaces around Brixton.
These proposals are under public consultation currently, with plans for a second round of consultations occurring in October and a planning submission expected in November.
Historical community pushback means the future of such development plans in Brixton remains uncertain, as seen with previous failed proposals.
