— Welcome from Huw

The streets between Peckham Rye and Rye Lane, and the village inside them.

Peckham doesn't need much introduction. The streets between Peckham Rye Park and Rye Lane have become some of South London's most sought-after addresses in the past decade, and we've been in the area the whole time. Bellenden Road, Choumert, Chadwick, the side-streets off Bellenden, we've sold homes on most of them.

Rye Lane is a different kind of high street: the Bussey Building above Khan's Bargains, Frank's Café on top of the multi-storey car park in summer, the Peckham Levels co-working block, and a constant churn of new openings. Five minutes the other way and you're in Peckham Rye Park.

If you're considering a Peckham home, the trick is knowing which side-streets actually feel like Peckham Rye and which ones are quiet Nunhead. We've been around long enough to walk you through the difference.
