After that, we had a wander around the top of Brixton Road. The delicatessen on the corner (number 2, I think), near the market is closing, but is being replaced by another one. See pics below:
I didn't realise there were so many good restaurants at the top of the road at the edge of SW9. Adulis (an Eritrean one) looks particularly good, and so does the Oval Tandoori (Indian).
One of my favourite adverts is at the top of Brixton Road... if you look carefully, it encourages you to smoke (for the sake of your throat), a legacy of times past:
After that, we went for a quick coffee at the Kennington Park cafe (it's worth a visit as the coffee is excellent, and the staff are very friendly). I took a picture of the underside of the helium balloon, currently advertising to everybody watching cricket at the Ashes:

I quite liked Adulis (RGL review is here). There also used to be an Eritrean/Italian place either next door to Adulis or a couple of doors down - Isola Verde. Not sure if that's still there.
The top of Brixton Road is great (fried chicken shops notwithstanding). If you're there again, I'd recommend popping into Malinka the Polish deli and, further down, Cafe Van Gogh, on the corner of Mowll Street. We also used to have the very nice cafe, run by Alison Price, caterer to Elton John and others, but that closed recently.
