Overview of Peckham

The London borough of Southwark has been the focus of one of the biggest urban renewal programmes in the UK. As a result of both private and public funding over recent years, this synergy of planning, funding and consultation process has enabled Southwark to undergo rapid and dramatic restructuring of its local economy, and none more so than Peckham.

Under the auspices of the Peckham Partnership and localised schemes such as the Bellenden Renewal Area, Peckham is being regenerated to the tune of £260m.

Two of the most outstanding achievements of recent years have been the establishment of the UK's first Healthy Living Centre, The Peckham Pulse, and the opening of the award winning Alsop and Stormer designed Peckham Library in May 2000. The Peckham Pulse exemplifies municipal architecture at its best with its light, airy and welcoming interior and complemented by the plethora of services on offer. The facility is designed to appeal to as wide a cross section of the community as possible and visitor figures have since topped the 300,000 mark.

The outstanding library is now considered to be one of the finest state-of-the-art buildings in the country. With its exterior copper cladding, suspended 'pods' within the main lending area, and the stunning views of London's skyline from the glass and chrome elevators, it has been a roaring and well deserved success with the local community it was designed to serve. These two buildings overlook the civic square where you will also find a very popular Farmer's Market every Sunday morning.

Standing alongside this burgeoning and innovative development you will still find a wealth of Period properties, particularly early and mid-Victorian villas and cottages, many of which lie within the bounds of designated areas of conservation. This is particularly true of Nunhead, famous for its cemetery and nature reserve, but also renowned locally for its period properties and where the perfect Victorian cottage can still be found!

Peckham and its surrounds is extremely well served by transport links with Peckham Rye Station, Queens Road Peckham, Nunhead Station and Brockley Station offering services to Central London and the City. One of the most exciting prospects for the future of Peckham is the southern extension of the East London Line, the biggest building programme since the Jubilee Line extension. The plan is to build a new, short section of track linking the existing line from south of Surrey Quays to the South London Line between South Bermondsey and Queens Road Peckham. A new station will be inserted at Surrey Canal Road before trains continue on an all stations service to Clapham Junction. Hooray!! The project will also extend from the existing station at New Cross Gate onto the National Rail network south, giving commuters all station services to Crystal Palace and West Croydon.
