I accept that people are busy with the local elections, but the 1 million pound(?) project for the park is down in the London Party local election leaflet that came round so it would be nice to know a little bit more.

Hi everyone,

I know plans and consultation documents are being developed for the Southwark website. I won't however, be able to find out when this will go on-line until after the election,

It goes from just inside the 1 'o'clock club playground, past the roundabout, past the springy boards, under a little bridge and terminates in a clump of rocks. If your walking from the caf to Barry road it's on your left.
I definitely think both toddler play areas could do with a revamp. They are both a bit dismal and uninspiring compared to the rest of the park - the play areas at goose green and hillyfields are both much better if the powers that be are looking for ideas. I think we need to see the plans to be able to comment properly, but i for one am pleased there is some sort of plan in motion!

There is an update!


Southwark Council has selected two architects to design new play facilities and a changing room area at Peckham Rye Park.


It was announced on 21 March 2016 that Curl la Tourelle + Head has been chosen to design new changing rooms next to the football pitches and a new children?s playroom, while Turkington Martin has been appointed to conceive a new children?s play area for Peckham Rye Common.


The project is funded by the Olympic Legacy Funding and the council?s capital funding.


Barrie Hargrove, cabinet member for parks, leisure and public health, said that the council was ?very keen to ensure the local community remains involved in the project throughout? and would therefore be establishing a stakeholder reference group ?to keep information flowing to all interested parties?.


He added: "This time of austerity has raised many challenges for us, but I am proud to say that despite this Southwark Council has still been able to invest millions in our parks and open spaces, including this significant project in Peckham Rye that recognises the importance of this historic open space to residents.

    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
    • Sometime in the mid 80s, the first incarnation was on Peckham Rye near the new old Tesco’s
    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
