Where is peckham london




















Thanks to this, it is now a firm favourite with locals in London and a great spot to watch the sunset over the city. After eating and drinking your way through Peckham, your thoughts might turn to exercise, and a great place for this is Yogarise , just off Rye Lane. We were just hungry, saw the cakes and decided to pop in!

It turns out Peckham Refreshment Rooms is one of the area's best spots for breakfast, lunch and dinner — and a particular favourite for brunch. Peckham is quickly gaining a reputation for being a creative hub, with street art being no exception.

While wandering the smaller alleys and nooks around Rye Lane, make sure to keep your eyes peeled for some local artists' works that don the walls around the neighbourhood.

One fun spot totally worth rounding up your friends for is the Brick Brewery! Spurred on by his friends, he's created what we have today; a fun place to spend an evening or afternoon. Follow the coronavirus guidance for London. Relax inside on the cosy armchairs or soak up the summer sunshine outdoors in the beer terrace. The pub also has a full schedule of events throughout the week, including open mic nights, stand-up comedy, pub quizzes, and even dance classes.

Showcasing art by London creatives and international talent, South London Gallery is a leading contemporary art space. Specially designed by Mexican artist Gabriel Orozco, the outdoor garden-patio area is open to visits on weekends.

The Persian food store and vegetarian restaurant is run by cookery writer Sally Butcher. The restaurant functions as a lowkey canteen serving mezze platters, wraps and hotpots. Tempt your sweet tooth with the dessert menu of Turkish delight sundae, saffron banana split and hot paklava. After that, visit the grocery store to buy spices, Middle Eastern relishes and candied nuts to make your own Persian-inspired meals at home.

The Italian-inspired menu makes the most of seasonal ingredients, serving hearty dishes like braised lamb with rigatoni pasta and roasted tomato with parmesan spaghetti.

The wine menu features a mix of independent wineries, with a focus on the best of Italy. Address: Unit 4. Nestled between the railway arches, Peckham Springs offers a mix of art, club nights and street food. The venue is a lively spot, wherever the mood takes you.

Sip on cocktails at the stylish bar, catch up with friends over a pint in the winter garden, or wander the stalls and grab some street food. Throughout the year, the venue has a busy calendar of vintage clothes fairs, creative workshops and flower markets. Decked out with classic no-fuss interiors, the cinema offers an immersive film screening experience.

Tickets are lower-priced than most other cinemas in the capital, making it the number one place to watch the latest film releases or arthouse cinema in West London. The craft beer microbrewery Brick Brewery offers a no-nonsense selection of beers. The buildings on the high street are actually very pretty, although I imagine living above all the nail salons, kebab shops, and fried chicken restaurants would get noisy.

I turned off the main street on to Bellenden Road, which was immediately way quieter. I walked past this sweet-looking, modern school. And suddenly felt like I was somewhere entirely different altogether. I found myself amongst grand, polished homes with well-manicured front gardens and expensive cars in the driveways.

It was so peaceful. The street had an almost Notting Hill-esque feel to it, and as I approached a series of shops and cafes, there was a very quaint village vibe. I popped into a cute cafe called Anderson and Co, which had a selection of delectable looking treats on the counter — the staff insisted that it was actually only a fraction of the usual spread, as they were about to close for the day.

I crossed the road to find possibly the fanciest independent grocery store I've ever seen. The shelves were lined with jars and packets of products by brands I'd never seen, as well as baked goods. Fresh produce was all laid out in an artistic way. As I wandered down the street, I passed a store selling grains, nuts, and seeds; another selling antique furniture; a retro style laundromat; and a branch of the small London pizza chain, Made of Dough which I happen to know is delicious.

I popped into a stylish boutique, Form SE15, selling designer clothing, interiors, and gifts. I then had a peek inside a pub called the Victoria. This wasn't a run of the mill boozer, though — the food menu included crushed avocado and poached eggs on toasted sourdough; baked Camembert with chilli jam, toasted sesame seeds, and sourdough; and a sirloin steak sandwich with fried onions, watercress, and fries.

I asked the bartender what he thought made Peckham so special, and he told me he thinks it's the homely vibe and the sense of community. However, as I mingled amongst the yummy mummies and their children, I couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy about how it seemed like a totally different community to what I'd seen on Rye Lane and the High Street.

There was still street art on Bellenden Road, but it wasn't the rough graffiti I'd seen earlier on in my travels. I wandered down a leafy side street off Bellenden Road and ventured back to the hustle and bustle of central Peckham. It couldn't have been further in appearance and vibe from the strange, bougie bubble of Bellenden Road.

The street was lined with African food stores, some of which were grilling meat outside, and it smelled delicious. They were also selling fruits and vegetables you don't see in mainstream supermarkets, like plantain. On Rye Lane, I found the entrance to the Bussey Building and climbed my way past the floors of offices and art spaces to the rooftop bar on the top. I'd heard about the Bussey Rooftop Bar before, but hadn't realized it was so beautiful.

Covered in a canopy of colorful flowers with views of the London skyline, I loved the vibe. There was a little chip shack catering for the inevitable munchies you get after a few drinks. And naturally, a neon sign for the 'gram. On the other side of the building is the Rooftop Film Club, where movie-lovers can recline in deckchairs and enjoy films in the open air — provided they don't get distracted by the views, that is. The final stop on my Peckham afternoon tour was back to Peckhamplex — perhaps the most famous bar in the area is Frank's on the roof of the building, but it didn't open till 5 p.

To get there, you have to climb up yet more flights of stairs, but the staircase to Frank's is an Insta-famous shade of bubblegum pink. I couldn't resist. When I reached the top of the staircase, I found an art exhibition about gaming.
