Then and Now: Atlantic Rd, facing Coldharbour Lane
Photographic comparisons of old and modern views of Lambeth

Atlantic Rd, by junction with Coldharbour Lane Brixton, 1921

c. 1921 Looking north up Atlantic Road towards Coldharbour Lane, there's a Hovis bread cart visible to the left, while various shop signs advertise Kavanagh's Boot Stores, cheap jewellery, hosiery and furniture.

Atlantic Rd, by junction with Coldharbour Lane, Brixton, May 2003

June 2003 After many years of neglect and under-investment, the building work testifies to the advancing gentrification of the area. The building on the left with the large windows (formerly Howe's Confectionary Cash & Carry) has been converted into luxury flats and a style bar/restaurant, while the street now sports several fashion stores, a restaurant and an excellent café.
