Brixton Pound

As a local resident the Brixton pound has intrigued me...but to be honest don't especially know how it works or what benefits it brings to the local community. Maybe i need to read into it more. Anywho its been redesigned with 4 notable people who are from the brixton area on the notes. Its well cool.

David Bowie (as Ziggy Stardust) features on the B£10 note; Chicago Bulls basketball player, Luol Deng, on the B£5; and WWII spy, Violette Szabo, on the B£20. Len Garrison, the co-founder of the Black Cultural Archives appears on the B£1 note.

Chicago Bulls player??? who knew.

Riding on the back are images from the skate park and also the Aytoun graffiti wall, and other such arty delights. Great bit of design work by a local brixtonian agency
