Mayall Road

Mayall Road is a road in Herne Hill and Brixton. It runs parallel to Railton Road and the area between them was known in the 1970s as the Front Line - an area of troubled race relations and conflict with the police.[1]

A street party is held there every year during the August bank holiday.[2]
