Or perhaps the fabric shop, being expert in cheap materials, knew that the cheapest possible way to cover bare concrete is to buy a carpet that says "SEGA" all over it?
"Whilst perusing fabrics with which to cover a slightly grotty sofa I bought for £30 (plus £5 for help to carry it back to my house) I came across this shop in Brixton, in south London."
"Whilst not much to look at from the front, it opened out into a huge room full of nice rolls of fabric to buy. The real star though, is the carpet (see attached, slightly rubbish iPhone photos)."

There were others too but I had no idea if they were part of brixton or not; And while I was searching, you were already typing the correct answer.
Hell, it's all just london as far as I'm concerned.
Remember, other fabric shops are also available.

Out of interest, is that the same electric avenue from that song? You know the one, can't remember how it goes now though.

What are the rules again Tyl- er, I mean Zorg?
and its actually a good song
E-lec-tric Av-en-yoo
And see a Sega Carpet!
I'm at the t junction of Electric Avenue and the Brixton road. Electric Avenue appears to be pedestrianised. Would, pretty much everyone I can see there, particlauly the girl in the red top in front of the fruit and veg stall. And the guys in the fluorescent bibs.
If so, i'm right in front you, standing in the middle of brixton road
Fortunately, I don't seem to even appear in the reflection of the topshop window opposite. I've tried enhancing the image blade-runner style but no joy there unfortunately.
Even more unfortunately, the technique also fails to work for trying to look round corners (like in the film) and into the topshop changing rooms (not in the film)

"ALSO EGG MONROE IS ON FACEBOOK NOW WHAT"
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? AAAARRRGGGGHHHHH.....
'Zor' lady had betta be an Origami expert or summat... Cos I'm gonna get all ROLF HARRIS on your arse and paint-cha black & blue. Yes sir-ree Halverde, when I bring me brushes... Cum won't be the only stain on the Sega carpet... THERE'LL BE PAINT.
Also; in the absence of our good Zorg, can I nominate Weatherbox as the prophet of Zorg? (Since he nose words n dat.) Guide us Weatherbox, prophet of Zorg. Soothe us with your words of hope in these dark & trouble times..
Your apprehension reminds me of a story I once heard whilst on a joyous pilgrimage from UK:R to the pious terrain Idiot Toys. it brings great fortitude to me in times at which my faith is subjected to the strains of perseverance.
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord Zorg. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord Zorg,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”
I hope this offers peace of mind to you all as Zorg takes a much deserved leave of absence, probably to check his email in order to mediate to us another fabulous picture of some curtains. I suggest we leave Zorg to his own designs. He is divine, and he is just. Ne'er should your faith wane or flicker, children. Know in your hearts that spirals shall come forth.
I love thee, O lord, in a holy way and also in a gay way too (I think...I had a sort of...daydream about you....it was a little confusing...then I...well....I tried touching myself afterwards and...well, Zorg....it felt....it felt....right........is all....dear God, it felt so very, very right....)
Bless you all.
Amen.

Can't take the credit for that, saw it in a pub toilet in Highgate. You know you're in North London when the graffiti in the shitter is as good as that.
I'd love to lose my honour on that carpet. I'm 42.^ Do not feed the prepubescent troll.
I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE YOU WANKHORSE. I LOVE EGG MONROE BECAUSE SHE'S OLDER.
You are one of those people? Go on, which one.
Are you Zardoz Jones? I'm really hoping you are.
I only ever went in once as a kid - have you ever tried concentrating on a game of House of the Dead whilst simultaneously keeping an eye out for lurking Brixton peados? - fucking nightmare
