00:00When you think of iconic landmarks and tourist attractions in London, you might
00:05think of Big Ben, the London Eye or maybe the Tower of London. Brixton is most
00:12famous for its food markets, nightlife and embodies London's multiculturalism, but
00:18it also holds a historic treasure. Tucked away in the South London Borough is a
00:22lesser-known attraction, Brixton Windmill, the last remaining windmill in London and
00:28is one that is still working today. Brixton Windmill is over 200 years old,
00:34built in 1816 and today uses the same millstones that were used to grind
00:39flour in 1902. These days the windmill is a pillar of the local community. It
00:45houses open days from yoga and tai chi to classes as well as baking workshops
00:51as well. But that's it for today's Look Around London.
