Area Guides

Peckham

The Hackney of South London – vibrant, creative, delicious. Listen to live jazz in an old railway tunnel; play boozy arcade games until 2am; drink cocktails on the roof of an abandoned car park; eat fresh pasta in a converted shed; watch silent movies under the stars.

Hipster meets first homeowner meets families throwing a ball for the dog in the park.

Peckham feels like a cultural starter – an exciting, sparky ball of energy where ideas are born and nurtured, where London’s most exciting ideas find legs.
