Tucked inside the covered arcades of Brixton Village market, Federation is a small Australian-influenced café that has been a cornerstone of the area's food scene for over a decade. The espresso is excellent and the flat whites are among the best south of the river. The setting inside the market is lively and characterful, surrounded by independent food traders from around the world. It's a perfect starting point for exploring Brixton Village and Market Row.
