Okan in Brixton Village is a popular street food join. It Brings you Japensese Street Food in this small but buzzing environment. Okonomiyaki is the most popular and famous streetfood dish from Japan’s second largest city, Osaka. Osaka is an industrial city famous for its unique and vibrant culture, its sense of humour and food that is cheap and tasty; it is known as the “Kitchen of Japan”.
Okonomiyaki means “as you like it”. It is a savoury pancake with a cabbage and batter base, a variety
of toppings and finished with a special brown sauce, Japanese mayonnaise, green seaweed flakes and
bonito shavings. The dish is traditionally served at matsuri (festivals) and shared with friends in small back-street caffs and peoples’ homes throughout the city and the rest of Japan. Part of the joy of the
dish is the experience of watching, smelling and tasting okonomiyaki cooked fresh in front of your
eyes.
Moto has been serving okonomiyaki from street stalls around Brick Lane since 2002. Okan in Brixton
brings you a new experience of okonomiyaki, served with a wide variety of toppings together with an a la
carte selection of classic Japanese ‘home cooking’.As it’s cooked it goes through various stages of frying, layering and re-frying over just eight minutes. You choose meat, fish and vegetarian toppings which are added to your mix.

So Last Century is back at the Mansion this Christmas with a festive, hand-picked, line-up of vintage traders in the Drawing Room, Dining Room and Atrium selling a wide selection of unique and unusual gift ideas for friends and loved ones!
You can expect to find a range of mid-century decor, lighting and homeware, ceramics, vintage and antique maps, botanical and medical drawings, prints, French brocante, fashion and accessories for the party season, jewellery and lots more.
There’ll be delicious street food, a coffee van and a brownie stall outside, while indoors the cosy Basement Bar will be serving mulled wine and hot cider! The Mansion cafe will also be open on the day.
Also, we’re delighted to welcome back The Bleeding’ Liberties. You might have seen and heard them at our two summer events this year at the Mansion. This time, they’ll be playing up on the gallery above the Atrium space, filling the Mansion with the sounds of the season.
As usual, some of the artists in residence at the Mansion will be holding open studios on the day, including Sophia Lyons. Pop up to the first floor to meet them and view their work, some of which is for sale. Catch wonderful views of the park from their windows while you’re up there!
In their studio on the ground floor, Know How You sewing school will be running Christmas workshops on the day for children, teens and adults. Pre-book a session on their website.
Don’t forget to check out the cavernous Cigarette Records shop, in the basement. Owain will help you find what you’re looking for amongst the thousands of records he has in stock, and may introduce you to something you’ve never heard before!
And finally, not to be missed, is the fascinating, run by The Friends of Beckenham Place Park. Crammed with artefacts, maps, and documents, you can find out about the rich history of the Park.
So put on your warmest coat and come along to immerse yourself in the Christmas spirit – vintage style!
