More details
The beautiful five-sided Victorian clocktower of Brady’s (formerly the Railway Hotel) in Atlantic Road is as well-loved a landmark on Brixton's skyline as the now-empty pub and venue is a vital part of its community and social history.
Yet this unique architectural feature is not listed with English Heritage, making it vulnerable to demolition if owner the London Borough of Lambeth decides to sell the building to developers.
It is my intention to:
1) Protect the future of the clocktower by making every effort to have it listed by English Heritage;
2) Working with the local community, to campaign to bring the whole building back into public use as a much-needed community-owned and run resource.
