Peckham Rye Station: Redevelopment

[jimit]

Does anyone know what is happening with the redevelopment at the station?

Also as a side note, any good recommendations for a place to pick up a coffee/sandwich in the morning around there?

There's lots of information on the Peckham Vision website about the plans, but not necessarily about the timeline:

Hi Jimit, I heard from Eileen of Peckham Vision that the council and Network Rail are due to unveil a plan for the redevelopment of the station around October/November time.

A new bike hub opened at the station last week and a Bompton hire station.

Cinnamon Tree Bakery newly opened at 14 Peckham High St - sweet baked goods rather than sandwiches from what I saw yesterday - delicious

Peckham Refreshment Rooms do a reasonable coffee - on Blenheim Grove, just to your right as you come out of the alleyway from the station (ie turn right out of the station exit, right at the end of the alleyway and it's on your right - underneath the scaffolding at the moment).

For a good coffee, why not visit the guy actually in Peckham Rye Station at his coffee stand? He does a great macchiato - it gets me going in the mornings! :)

I hear the old hardware store next to CASA is to become a cafe.

Otherwise both Anderson and The General Store to take away coffee too. In addition to Cafe Viva, whose I think is better made, and locally roasted beans (Volcano of South London vs Square Mile/Workshop).

Just wondering where this is? I had a quick look on the weekend and must have gone the wrong way.

In other news I note that WH Smith has become another pound shop.

Just past the job centre, same side of the road. It's called the Cinnamon Tree Bakery.

That is a real shame.

Well that's good news the old pub site has been turned in to something good it hasn't been the Adam and Eve pub for a long time - it was empty for a while and before that was a series of venues known for poor behavior of certain customers (i believe there were rumours ocne that it was going to turn into a lap dancing venue) so given all that i'll take a developments of flats i can't afford and a bakery.

Just looked at the site on Google Streetview... interesting to see "luxury apartments" for sale next to a decrepit "Dixie Chicken".
