Brixton Culture Capital 04.06.2026
Brixton Bingo and everything else on this weekend....
As part of the London Festival of Architecture, Brixton-based architect ZMA are turning Brixton into a live “explore-to-score” game: Brixton Bingo.
To win, you have to go looking. The game gives you clues to find thirty+ shops, corners and independent places in Brixton you’d normally stroll past. A true test of how well you know Brixton. They have promised some great prizes, including theatre tickets, a velodrome experience, restaurant and shopping vouchers, local art, and more, so we are in.
Free, all ages, every ability. Architecture as play, and our streets are the stage. Join in the fun and discover new local businesses, and have a chance to be part of the digital legacy of Brixton Bingo.
