About

The Silwood & Pepys area in Lewisham is primarily residential, characterised by post-war housing estates.

The layout includes a network of pedestrian walkways and courtyards, creating a distinct separation from through traffic.

A notable local feature is the presence of the former Master Shipwright's House, a 17th-century timber-framed building now used as a community centre, which contrasts with the surrounding modern architecture.
