About

Peckham Rye Common is a large, open green space in Southwark. It consists of formal playing fields and more informal meadow areas, providing a functional recreational ground for the local community. The common is a key part of the area's geography, offering a flat, expansive contrast to the surrounding urban streets.

A notable feature is the distinct, separate woodland known as Peckham Rye Park, which adjoins the common to the north. The common itself is historically a traditional site for fairs and public gatherings. Its open character is defined by long sightlines across the grass, framed by mature trees that line its perimeter.
