If you're flying to London, you'll likely arrive at Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, or Luton. From Heathrow, take the Piccadilly Line to central London and transfer to the Victoria Line southbound to reach Brixton. Gatwick Express trains run to London Victoria in about 30 minutes, where you can then take the Tube or a taxi to Brixton. Stansted's Stansted Express goes to Liverpool Street (then Tube), and trains from Luton arrive at St Pancras International (then Tube or Thameslink); all routes connect with London's transport network that will get you to Brixton.

Brixton is easy to reach by local train or Tube. The Brixton Underground station is the southern terminus of the Victoria Line (Zone 2), which means it's a straight shot south from many central London stations like Victoria or Oxford Circus. There is also a Brixton Overground station (Southern rail) with trains running from London Bridge via East Croydon. Numerous London buses (including night buses) run to Brixton as well. Using an Oyster card or contactless payment covers all of these travel options seamlessly.

If you decide to drive, Brixton can be accessed via the A23 (London Road) from the south or via Kennington Lane and the A3 from the north. Keep in mind that Brixton sits on the edge of London's Congestion Charge zone (active on weekdays only) and has limited controlled parking; street parking is mostly metered or in public car parks. Given the busy festival weekend, public transport is often more convenient than driving unless you plan to park well outside and take the Tube in.

In terms of accommodation, Brixton and the surrounding area offer a range of places to stay, from boutique hotels and B&Bs in Brixton itself to larger hotels in nearby neighborhoods. Many visitors choose places in areas like Clapham, Streatham, or central London, then take a short Tube or train ride to Brixton. Booking early is recommended since options can fill up during event weekends. Wherever you stay, a location near a Tube or rail station will make it easy to reach Brixton. You'll also find plenty of lively pubs, restaurants, and shops in and around Brixton to enjoy before or after the festival.
