Brixton property is bubbling up as champagne bar opens - London - News - London Evening Standard

Brixton property is bubbling up as champagne bar opens - London - News - London Evening Standard: "Brixton is to get its first champagne bar in the latest upmarket opening in the area.

The arrival of Champagne + Fromage on October 15 comes after estate agent Foxtons opened a branch in the area, which is also due to get a Waitrose.

The latest openings have fuelled fears that rents could rise, forcing long-established independent traders out of Brixton"
