Thinking of going to a gig in December, is this place easily accessable by car and parking nearby? Cant take public transport as finishes at 3 and work the next day..

You can get there by car, if that's what you mean by accessible? Pretty sure the Academy doesn't have parking, but there are a few council car parks in Brixton. Or most on street parking in London seems to be free after 6 or 7. Check the council parking website (Lambeth).

Depends where you're coming from; if you're coming from the west you have to go all around the South Circular. There is car parking nearby, a multistory.

Brixton Academy recommends that all customers use public transport.There is restricted parking around the Brixton Academy - however, there is a multi-storey car park on Popes Road - Cost is 0.80 per hour and it is open until 11.30pm.

It's a pain driving across there from the M4, so I park at King's Mall, Hammersmith, and tube over.
But that's just me.

Congestion charge zone is about 3 miles north of Brixton, so if you come in from the south you'd be fine. There is a map on TFL website, it's easy to avoid it, and it stops at 6 anyway.

Transport for London

6pm.

There's lots of parking around, but I'm not telling you where otherwise you might nick my spot 😉

Seriously - drive around a bit, a lot of residential areas.

Residential parking hell, I'd m25 it round to Croydon multi storey, bus in then taxi back.
