Another interesting development in Peckham, this time along Rye Lane itself. Despite all the faffing around from various local organisations about cleaning up the station it seems gentrification continues apace and may well be pushing onto the main shopping street. Had a good read up and if it gets planning approval will be nice to see a pub opening up down there after the Bun House, the Hope and the Heaton Arms closures of the last decade.

I didn't think that this kind of thing would be coming to Rye Lane itself any time soon. But looks like I was wrong... this place, Four Quarters, Lerryns cafe, etc.


Nice to see the place smartening up a bit, hopefully Rye Lane can retain a mix of businesses to cater for the whole community.

Neither did I Jeremy, not Rye Lane itself anyhow, mostly because of the time it seems to be taking to sort the whole station arcade area out. But as you say, new businesses alongside more established ones will help keep the mix about right and hopefully encourage others to reinstate shop fronts on their businesses and clean up the streetscape somewhat.


On the point of local businesses, and regardless of whatever personal opinions some may have about them, it seems Khan's Bargains have embraced the restoration of the conservation area, look at this exciting planning application below, and the restoration of the original Holdron shop front including a new illuminated Holdron's department store sign above the 1930s building occupied by Khan's.

I agree it's taking an age and a day to sort out the station area; I don't think we'll see much movement before this time next year at the earliest.


The Khan's restoration looks appealing, stylish and - ! - apostrophically** correct (twice). **This is a made-up word.

There are still agreements to be made on the plans for the station and surrounding area with Network Rail.


I think the Khans plans look great. Benedict O'Looney, the architect has been very involved with Peckham Vision and the Peckham Society over the years and has a strong interest in conservation of historical buildings. Hope it goes ahead.


Would be good to see a gastro pub in the Lane too.

    • This thread brings back hazy memories from the early to mid-90s of a wine shop / off licence off Lordship Lane run by a bibulous chap who specialised in East European wines. It wasn't on a parade of shops but was on maybe Whateley Rd – or possibly Goodrich?? I used to walk past it when heading home from work and would drop in for a cheap bottle of Hungarian plonk. Someone tell me I'm not dreaming this... 🙂
    • The river Peck is partly underground if you live near the park and on its route
    • I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.  
    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.
