At the northern end of Railton Road it becomes Atlantic Road, linking to Brixton Road. At the southern end is Herne Hill railway station.
The 1981 Brixton riot started here. The George public house was burnt down and a number of other buildings were damaged, and the area became known as the "Front Line".
Much of this radical past has since been erased in the ongoing process of gentrification affecting much of the Brixton area.
