Railton Road

Road in England

Railton Road runs between Brixton and Herne Hill in the London Borough of Lambeth. The road is designated the B223. At the northern end of Railton Road, it becomes Atlantic Road, linking to Brixton Road at a junction where the Brixton tube station is located. At the southern end is Herne Hill railway station. A popular location for squatters in the 1970s, it won renown in the Black community as the "frontline" of the 1981 Brixton riot. Its leading establishment is the 198 Contemporary Arts and Learning centre.
