Hi,

I am currently in my 3rd year of an interior design degree at London College of Communication, for my final major project I am looking into the idea of different perspectives of 'luxury' within Peckham. What do you personally feel is a luxury to you? money, cars, branded products? or is it something less physical such as health, family and security?

Any feedback on what luxury is to you would be really helpful!!

Thankyou for your time.

Good suggestion about a clipboard in Peckham but WHY is the OP 'wasting their time here'? Plenty of people from Peckham/Peckham Rye etc. on the forum...COuld be this is only one of severla ways in which they OP is trying to gather information (or at least I hope so)...

A luxury is being surrounded by positive people even those who are suffering for various reasons.

So alice sadly makes this place not very luxurious, if that is your definition.


Here's some of mine that happened this afternoon.

Just ridden around London on my motorcycle and didn't get wet despite the storms. My motorcycle is very comfortable and I am confident and enjoy riding: Luxury!

Came home and relaxed in a very hot and full bubble bath for about an hour: luxury!

Dried myself in warmed fluffy Egyptian cotton thick towels: luxury!

I've just eaten carrot sticks dipping them in taramasalata: luxury!

I may have a bacon and brie sarnie later: Luxury!


Get my drift?


Yet to me, luxury is not having anything to worry about, health wealth and happiness.

That rarely happens, so I take luxury in the little things. It's not Peckham related (I just happen to live here and love it). But it's a luxury to walk around a great park, and see the views of the whole of London from my home.

I'll second PeckhamRose. There are so many big worries at the minute that my 'luxuries' are perhaps to some 'small' things but are the things that make life really worth living.


Today: a cup of nice coffee and 5 minutes peace; a proper talk and walk with my 8-year old son; time to play with kids and live life at their speed and through their eyes; watching the sunset from the balcony of my flat; knowing that the park is at the end of the road; reading a good book - or even a not-so-good book; playing music.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
