To imply that I, for example think that Peckham is a place to avoid after dark because I might be afraid of people of a different skin colour (to put it crudely), with different eating habits and who attend daft storefront places of worship, is, I think to suggest that you're not too familiar with the SE15 area. Peckham is what it is, a dirty, dull, crime-ridden Brixton. Except when it's not in certain pubs at certain times. It will not be the simple good place you appear to want it to be. Could be worse though, could be Harlesden.
