Peckham was a Hamlet of the parish of Camberwell, situated about a mile to Camberwell?s east on the road to New Cross.


The name means ?the place of the river Peck?, a small steam that runs through the district.


Peckham has never been an administrative district, or a single ecclesiastical parish in its own right; nevertheless, today it has a strong sense of local identity.


This may well be why Peckham was never classed as a Village


This has its roots in its 19th century development from fields to suburbs, and crucially the development of Rye Lane as one of the most important shopping streets in south London.

Peckham - situated between Rotherhithe in the north and Forest Hill in the south - was mentioned in the Domesday Book (1087) where it is called 'Pecheha'. The name is probably Anglo Saxon, meaning 'village among the hills'. The old English word for hill being 'peac' and 'ham' meaning village.

In the village where I grew up there were and still are:

- three pubs

- a large Maypole and dancing green

- a post office

- a village shop

- cricket and football pitch

- a church and Chapel

- rectory

- primary school

- no train station


Nunhead is fairly similar in what's offered, but it's not a village and should never be called one. London estate agents who call parts of their trading areas "villages" should get out of the capital more often. Nunhead is more like a subdistrict of the broader Peckham area, and it isn't a village.

The yuppies will believe anywhere is a village if the local EA gives them the BS lowdown. Since the posh wannabes ?rediscovered? the ED/Peckham borders, it?s suddenly been referred to as ?bell-end village?. Organic Croissant munchers will turn anywhere into a village. It makes them feel cosy and community spirited.

Nunhead is not a village (but estate agents might label it so, because they are silly)

Bellenden Road is not a village (but see above about estate agents)

Nunhead is not in Peckham, but it is very nearby!

Croissants are not fancy - unless you've time-travelled back to WW2.

Presumably you have posted this because you have seen the very very long discussion aka argument on Facebook about it?

    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
