Peckham was a Hamlet of the parish of Camberwell, situated about a mile to Camberwell?s east on the road to New Cross.


The name means ?the place of the river Peck?, a small steam that runs through the district.


Peckham has never been an administrative district, or a single ecclesiastical parish in its own right; nevertheless, today it has a strong sense of local identity.


This may well be why Peckham was never classed as a Village


This has its roots in its 19th century development from fields to suburbs, and crucially the development of Rye Lane as one of the most important shopping streets in south London.

Peckham - situated between Rotherhithe in the north and Forest Hill in the south - was mentioned in the Domesday Book (1087) where it is called 'Pecheha'. The name is probably Anglo Saxon, meaning 'village among the hills'. The old English word for hill being 'peac' and 'ham' meaning village.

Our branch is located in a prime corner location right in the heart of Nunhead Village and surrounded by well know shops such as Ayres bakery and Sopers fish monger.

In the village where I grew up there were and still are:

- three pubs

- a large Maypole and dancing green

- a post office

- a village shop

- cricket and football pitch

- a church and Chapel

- rectory

- primary school

- no train station


Nunhead is fairly similar in what's offered, but it's not a village and should never be called one. London estate agents who call parts of their trading areas "villages" should get out of the capital more often. Nunhead is more like a subdistrict of the broader Peckham area, and it isn't a village.

The yuppies will believe anywhere is a village if the local EA gives them the BS lowdown. Since the posh wannabes ?rediscovered? the ED/Peckham borders, it?s suddenly been referred to as ?bell-end village?. Organic Croissant munchers will turn anywhere into a village. It makes them feel cosy and community spirited.

Nunhead is not a village (but estate agents might label it so, because they are silly)

Bellenden Road is not a village (but see above about estate agents)

Nunhead is not in Peckham, but it is very nearby!

Croissants are not fancy - unless you've time-travelled back to WW2.

Presumably you have posted this because you have seen the very very long discussion aka argument on Facebook about it?

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area 
    • Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years Good to see these two jailed today for four years. There’s something deeply disturbing about people who destroy trees—any tree. Whether it’s a centuries-old landmark or a sapling in a quiet park, trees are living beings that offer beauty, shade, and life. The men who cut down the Sycamore Gap tree are a stark example of how far some people will go to lash out at something peaceful and meaningful. People who harm nature like this aren’t just destructive—they are often deeply unhappy. It takes a troubled mind to look at a tree and see something to ruin instead of something to protect.
