Peckham is not lponger what it was because it has evolved into something different. It has become for the while anyway, Little Africa, which is fine. Africans don't have as much money and that is reflected in the shops and goods being sold therein. Do you not like their shops and what they buy and sell? Well they do which is why those shops are busy. Just because it is not like how you want it, and you want it back to the 1970s when M&S and posher shops were there, doesn't mean that if you got rid of all the shops that were there now people would come flooding back. The shops that are there now serve their purpose. Market forces.
