The Brixton Pound (B£) is designed to
support Brixton businesses and encourage local trade and production.
It’s a complementary currency, working alongside (not replacing) pounds
sterling, for use by independent local shops and traders. It has just had a colourful overhaul, truly reflecting the urban vibrancy and rich heritage of the district. It shakes off the fustiness of tradition monetary design creating something that's really quite exciting!

"For the redesign, Brixton-based agency, This Ain't Rock ‘n' Roll, incorporated images of some of the areas most respected sons and daughters.

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" Creative Review
