36 Hours in London: Things to Do and See – The New York Times

Three stops on the tube will take you to a neighborhood that is not often included in guides, but that encapsulates what makes the city hum: its immigrant communities. Brixton is one of the beating hearts of Black London, with an integral Caribbean community that’s thriving despite gentrification pressures. (Learn more history here at the Black Cultural Archives, which is open until 6 p.m. on Saturdays.) Pull up a bench at Fish, Wings & Tings, a popular stop for jerk chicken with rice and peas and coleslaw (£14), along with a blaring soundtrack outside Brixton Village market. Or, head up the road to Negril, a small and understated Caribbean restaurant on Brixton Hill, where a side dish of saltfish fritters with lime mayo and hot sauce is a must.
