Hammertime DIY in Brixton’s Atlantic Road has now closed

Just six years after opening, Brixton’s independent hardware store, Hammertime DIY, has now permanently closed.

Located at 50 Atlantic Road, right in the centre of town, the small shop was a handy place to pick up supplies, and its closure is another reflection on the demise of traditional High St shops.

The shop’s Google reviews reveal what a popular asset it was to the local community:

S: I’ve been here a few times. The service has always been good. Think it’s a family run place or friends. The shop is always clean and tidy the staff is always there to help and I think the prices are reasonable.

J: Very helpful and friendly. Went back a few times for some niche hardware needs.

J: Hammertime is a really useful and much-needed store in Brixton. All the usual local supermarkets are lacking in DIY products, but Hammertime makes up the shortfall and then some. Friendly service too!
