Former Angel pub, Coldharbour Lane, Brixton
The pub apparently closed in 2011, the ground floor briefly becoming a Tesco express that itself had closed by the time this photo was taken in 2015, and the upper floors redeveloped for housing. Next to it are an internet cafe and fish bar.

Southwyck House, Brixton
This block of flats is on Coldharbour Lane SW9, very near Brixton town centre. It is known locally as the Barrier Block and it has had an interesting history. Click here http://www.urban75.org/brixton/features/barrier.html for an excellent website that tells more. The reason why the block was built to look like that was to deflect traffic noise from a proposed multi lane highway that was never built.
