London is a world city and Peckham is only one tile in the London carpet. Peckham is a middle more than a centre - like me, and other Londoners by choice - is between places absorbed into larger identities but has a personality of its own.
Through stories of cultural place-making, community-led campaigns, regeneration schemes and the voice of locals, we will explore the vibrancy, contrasts, and peculiarities of the diverse public, private and communal spaces of this culturally diverse environment that make of Peckham a place rather than an administrative unit. A walk to unravel the different Londons that live all together under the Peckham’s paradigm.
Walk starts in front of the entrance to Peckham Rye station, on Station Way (SE15 4RX)
