Taylor McWilliams Born 1980 or 1981 (age 44–45)[1] Occupation property developer

**Taylor McWilliams** (born October 1980) is an American real estate developer and part-time DJ, who owns most of London's [Brixton Market](/source/Brixton_Market).[2]

McWilliams is originally from Texas, and by 2014, was based in Earls Court/Fulham, London.[1][3]

In 2018, McWilliams acquired Brixton market against competition from [Mike Ashley](/source/Mike_Ashley_(businessman)) and [Aidan Brooks](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aidan_Brooks&action=edit&redlink=1).[4]

McWilliams is a part-time DJ, part of the Housekeeping quartet along with Carl Waxberg, Sebastian Macdonald-Hall and Jacobi Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe.

In July 2020, McWilliams's company, Hondo Enterprises evicted Nour Cash & Carry from Brixton Market after more than 20 years there, leading to local protests and the founding of the Save Nour group.[1][5][6][7][8] On 3 November 2020, Hondo Enterprises won planning permission for the development of a 20-storey office block in Brixton, next to a conservation area and [Electric Avenue](/source/Electric_Avenue%2C_Brixton).[2][9]
