I must admit you are a LOT brave than me going through that area. I have only gone to Brixton once {a couple of years back} and was VERY glad to leave. While I am no coward {and in my younger days have taken many foolish chances on things} I now think long and hard before venturing into uncharted area's and even if some of the news I hear is fiction I wiuld not push my luck {and possessions}and chance it.
I know that it is a minority that cause the type of headlines we all read about and that the rest are people like us {law abiding} but even so my motto is "better safe than sorry"
