LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 13: Shoppers buy goods from Brixton street market on Electric Avenue on March 13, 2009 in London, England. Brixton's historic market, founded in the 1870s, has been saved from proposed redevelopment into a West End-style shopping and apartment complex. Some of the 140 independent traders have owned family run stalls for over 120 years. Traditional markets, such as Brixton's, are coming under increasing pressure from developers looking to redevelop street markets into gourmet Farmer�s Markets catering for wealthier consumers.
