STOP
What: Wishbone
Where: Brixton
Designed by Shed Design, Wishbone in Brixton Market offers up honest simplicity in the form of fried chicken. Chicken nuggets come breaded and fried with ‘salt ‘n’ pepa’ or Thai-style dressing, you can also get quarter or half chickens, buffalo wings or a chicken sandwich. Look out for the artwork on the walls by graffiti artists Paintshop Studio.
