Peckham North West

Peckham North West occupies the north-west corner of the Peckham area in the London Borough of Southwark. The locale is focused on Rye Lane and the streets that run down toward Peckham Rye station, where shops, market stalls and small businesses cluster along the high street. Peckham Rye Park and Common sits close by with a lake, bandstand and sports pitches, and narrow residential streets off the main road contain Victorian terraces and local services such as pharmacies, bakeries and gyms.

Transport links include frequent buses along Rye Lane and rail and Overground services from Peckham Rye station into central London. Public life often gathers on the high street and in pocket green spaces; the roof of the multi-storey car park on Rye Lane has hosted seasonal sculpture and performance programmes with views over the street below. Community-run projects and small studio spaces occupy former industrial arches and yards, providing workspace and occasional markets that spill into the surrounding streets.
