Living in Peckham

Peckham is part of the London Borough of Southwark and lies to the East of Camberwell and West of New Cross and Nunhead. Made famous by Del Boy and Rodney from the much-loved sitcom Only Fools and Horses, the area has seen vast regeneration over the last 20 years and a steady gentrification of the area has seen a number of trendy boutique shops, wine bars and artist galleries open up.

Peckham has a vibrant multicultural feel to it, appealing to young professional sharers, couples and families. Peckham is an up and coming area, close to East Dulwich, but far more affordable, with a trendy arty vibe that is now seen as a fashionable place to live.
