Brixton in London is now renowned for having its very own container shopping centre. This has become a massive hit with the public who absolutely love the whole idea of using containers for food stands, clothes stores, and even mobile homes.

There is a new kid on the block this summer. Similar to
BOXPARK Shoreditch, this container conversion is called
Pop Brixton. The whole idea is to get the local community involved and help promote local businesses, with an estimation of around 85% local businesses already willing to get involved. Pop Brixton is a large market style area with both indoor and outdoor space; shipping containers are stacked on top of each other, painted with vibrant colours and fitted with really cool and funky decals. There is something for everyone with live music being played in the container-made courtyard, films being shown throughout the day and also many food stands displaying some of the finest food for everyone’s taste. Since the site opened it has provided nothing but positive energy for the local community, providing jobs, training and as well as offering punters something exciting.

This is only scratching the surface of what you can achieve with shipping containers; here at Lion Containers we have had it all.
