Hi Serena


I lived on Copleston Road for a while in 2009 (my friend still does) and never had problems parking - usually managed to park right outside our door. Good road, no complaints! And you can't beat Peckham Rye for train links, plus East Dulwich station is also within easy reach - all good!

I have lived on Copleston road SE15 my whole life (i will not enclose how long that is!) and i assure you mr edhistory that SE15 is most definitely Peckham no matter what some snobby estate agent has told you, it always has been, check your history..sorry too tempting! I am immensely proud to be from Peckham and hate the new lingo that has arrived with the buggys and stupid shops that sell nothing of any use to any one, i have even had letters addressed to 'Bellenden Village' arrrggg makes me furious, along with many comments which turn up on this forum! But for the OP i love Copleston and find it not only useful for travel but quiet and there is also a strong sense of community i know all my neighbours and have helped each other hugely over the years. It IS Peckham and its also lovely!!! Welcome to the road. xxx
Ms B, I'm not sure that's necessarily true or particularly helpful. I think I have seen one mention on the forum in connection with a mugging, but personally have had 5 years of walking up and down that road virtually every day without a single negative experience. Can we stick to facts please? It's a pleasant enough road, with moderately heavy traffic (due to the one way system), moderately heavy parking (due to the number of flats) and probably a bit of railway noise on the side that backs onto the line. It's in a nice area, and well located for both local stations, Sainsburys, Lordship Lane, Bellenden Rd and fairly close to Goose Green and Peckham Rye for some green space and kids playgrounds.
the traffic does depend on which end you are looking at I live at the 'peckham end' and it is a dead end and therefore very quiet. The church this end (the Copleston centre) is also useful with many things such as yoga, childcare, youth club and soup clubs along with regular events. I have not yet heard of a mugging on this road, however this isnt a impossibility all I can say is that i have never driven so have walked home after work or drinking everyday for 20 something years and have never had a problem and as the road is well lit and with friendly neighbours i feel safe.

It's a nice street. I live there, and quite happily tell people I live in Peckham Rye; SE15 = NOT East Dulwich! Mind you, if you cross the railway tracks (over the bridge on Avondale Rise) you'll start hearing residents tell you you're in Camberwell... :)


Never had any trouble round here, and our neighbours are all lovely.

I have lived on the road for 6 years now and love that it is slap bang in the middle of East Dulwich and Peckham High Street, awhilst Bellenden Road is a 2 minute down Choumert Road.


I have always referred to it as Peckham, which according to Southwark council it actually is. And if not, then where the hell is it?!

I've lived on Copleston for 7 years and love it. As people have said - near East Dulwich and Peckham Rye stations (And P Rye will connect to Overground end of 2012) so it's well placed for transport, lots of buses (and some are 24 hour) so only a short walk home from near ED station. Sainsburys isn't far, Lordship Lane very close. It feels like East Dulwich but SE15 is Peckham, you will actually find one end is SE22 (ED), middle is SE15 (Peckham) and just off is SE5 (Camberwell). Parking is always available but just not always outside your house (at least it's free and not residents permits yet.)

East Dulwich has got better and better over the years and Copleston has been mentioned as a "desirable road" in decent newspapers so I'd say go for it!

    • The Veolia teams that have serviced Underhill for the last few years (certainly before lockdown) have generally been very tidy. A few spillages but not noticeably many, and often from very overfilled bins. I have seen them take brooms to sweep up real accidental spillages. There are problems with fox or cat scattered rubbish from accessible bins, and from food wrappers discarded by passers bye, but that is neither Veolia's nor the council's fault. 
    • Hello We are looking to get a dog of 1 year plus - know how hard puppy training is and want to avoid it! Also keen to know dog’s personality before we jump in as friends have had very difficult experiences with puppies who turned out to be tricky.  Ideally would like to adopt but also open to buying - does anyone have any ideas of where one might buy a dog?  thanks in advance! 
    • I think you have been very kind towards the the council.  And even kinder in your description of Peckham High Street (LOL). Peckham High Street Rye Lane is awful.  I know it is a very controversial opinion   but I am happy that some parts are going to developed and re built.   The dirty pavements, graffiti shops that put their stock all over pavements and racing cyclists make it not an enjoyable place to be in.  In the old days any business would have to keep their premises in good order.   I am much happier being near a simple bit of over greenery or weed.   It is much cleaner and feels safer to be next to.   Some parts of Peckham are plagued by Zombie like people who have fallen prey to substance abuse.  And I don't see the council putting much effort into helping these poor lost souls.
    • Our refuse collectors leave rubbish all the way down the hill after they have emptied the bins. Everywhere you go you see rubbish everywhere. On some days walking through the high street in Peckham can be truly depressing with plastic bags and paper blowing around everywhere, Peckham and other streets deserve better than this Council complacency. I'm sure it wasn't so bad back in the day. Councils everywhere, faced with cuts in revenue, must have decided a long time ago  that litter picking  and rubbish collection were not so important. I think a clean, tidy environment makes everyone feel better about their home environment. Btw, I'm ok with a few weeds. They are just wild flowers in an inconvenient place.
