sw9 is also associated with stockwell park which is a la-di-da conservation area and has it's own website not to mention a few blue plaques including van gogh's. 
having lived in the conservation area for most of the '90s i have to say i associate sw9 more with stockwell park/angell town than brixton, despite the popular association of that postcode with brixton.
as for posh streets...

Ah, but almost the whole of Brixton Hill (Rush Common) is a conservation area
I'm sure we had some famous residents at one time (not sure who
). Oh, and you had Violette Szabo lived in Stockwell which is 1-up for you SW9ersThe blazers and straw boaters are a dead giveaway though.twisted said:

Can I ask what I am classed as?
I live on Shakespeare Road at the Loughborough Junction end (I'm not Lougborough Junction as it's not actually a place, just the name of the station) I am nearer to Brixton (but still a bit of a walk) than Herne Hill but my postcode is SE24.

When the old Roupell neighbourhood was wound up a few years ago, the Palace Road Estate in SW2 (south of the South Circular) made a conscious choice to become part of South Brixton neighbourhood rather than Streatham. I think they're mean street enough...

engineering brick - check
deck access - check
staircases with blind corners - check

sw9 launching an attack on the hill...
She definitely lived in Effra Parade, on Effra Road just opposite St Matthew's Church, definitely in SW2. When, I'm not entirely sure. 70s or 80s.ianw said:

where did you read that? just done a quick google but can't find any reference. it's hard to believe really. amazing...
Can't find a ref on the net either but have been told by many sources over many years. I think it is mentioned in the biography Songs you never hear on the radio but I'm not sure. I keep meaning to borrow it off my next door neighboour.ianw said:
Not that amazing really. sw2 is a very cool place.

I always think of the SW2 area as being Brixton as when I first visited "Brixton" years ago I visted addresses in SW2.
But having read books about London, I think it seems that SW9 is the "real Brixton" and SW9 is "grittier" IMO.

you're not towing the SW2 line on this at all are you?
SW9 are Pimms-quaffing Poshingtons NOT the great unwashed
And of course they can swim; most of them were probably born in flotation tanks and/or learnt to swim at Mum'n'Tots classes at the approx age of 4 weeks
