PeckhamRose Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Primark Peckham (Claire Dowie did an excellent show about it). Packed busses when you hear more than one person sneezing. Bus stop at Shopping Centre section of Elephant and Castle.Hospital. Any hospital. Any department. Parents house. (Elderly parents both nearing the end of their lives.)

Not the flats or walkways or weird outside bits but the arts centre itself.

holloway Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Elephant & castle, especially the underpasses. Although this isn't really an irrational tenseness as the absence of working cctv and poor lighting create a very real risk of mugging. I shudder thinking back to when I staggered pissed through there when I commuted to North London...
