A lot has been said and written about the gentrification of Peckham but I think it's rather exaggerated. True, there are pockets that have changed - the shops/cafes along the north side of Peckham Rye, the Bussey Building and multi-storey car park, the Bellenden Road area - but Peckham is a large area and most of it remains the same, including the shops along Rye Lane from Nigel Road northward. Having said that, I usually go to Peckham during the daytime and perhaps am missing the Peckham Buzz that happens in the evenings.
