About

Rye Lane ward sits in the northern part of the London Borough of Southwark, centred on its main thoroughfare. The area is a dense mix of residential streets and commercial activity, with a significant portion of the local economy focused on retail and small businesses. Residential housing largely consists of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, alongside more modern apartment developments. Peckham Rye Park provides a large green space at its southern edge.

The ward is a key transport hub, served by both Peckham Rye railway station and numerous bus routes. The railway arches along the lane itself house a variety of independent shops, cafes, and market stalls. A notable local landmark is the distinctive Peckham Levels, a multi-storey car park creatively repurposed into a community space for artists and entrepreneurs.
