Whatâs it all about?
Once best known as the down at heel home of sitcom legends Del Boy and Rodney Trotter, Peckham has undergone significant gentrification in the past 20 years. Galleries, restaurants and trendy bars have popped up alongside multicultural grocery stores, market traders and high street offerings. A £290 million regeneration plan during the late 1990s, coupled with an influx of artists and improvements to transport links have had a profoundly positive impact in the area. Only a few steps away from the bustle of Peckhamâs main shopping street, Rye Lane, there are quiet streets of charming Victorian houses offering easy access to local trains and buses, and there is plenty of green space, too, with Peckham Rye and Burgess Park both close by. A mix of property types attracts a wide variety of residents, from City workers taking advantage of the reasonable journey times, to families looking to buy a larger property in an area that gives good value for money and younger couples keen to benefit from the always evolving range of eating, drinking and nightlife options.
Fact file
?During the 18th century Peckham was known as a market garden town and produced figs, melons and grapes.
?In 1851 Thomas Tilling set up an innovative omnibus service from Peckham to London. Tillingâs buses were the first to use pre-arranged bus stops, which helped them to run to a reliable timetable.
?Famous natives of Peckham include Frankenstein actor Boris Karloff and footballer Rio Ferdinand.
Architecture and property
Peckhamâs development up to the 1860s took place in two areas: to the north, impressive villas and terraces in the area near the Old Kent Road, and to the south large houses built in prime locations near Peckham Rye. A new district called Peckham New Town was built on land owned by the Hill family, centred on Peckham Hill Street. The second phase was sparked by the coming of public transport - railways and, more importantly, horse trams in the 1870s. This stimulated building of a more modest scale in almost any open space.There are still Victorian and Edwardian banks, pubs and public buildings, adapted Georgian houses with substantial Victorian, Edwardian and 20th century retail development. The west side of Peckham Hill Street is an almost unspoilt late Georgian development and there is a small pocket of quaint cottages in Choumert Square, just off Rye Lane.
Peckham North, between Peckham High Street and the Old Kent Road, has benefited from regeneration and is a bustling melting pot of a neighbourhood with lots of flats, colourful shops and houses. Peckham Conservation Area, around Bellenden Road, lures house hunters with attractive Victorian architecture. Further south, Nunhead is a family orientated area with several good primary schools and good sized family houses.
