Hi,

I am currently in my 3rd year of an interior design degree at London College of Communication, for my final major project I am looking into the idea of different perspectives of 'luxury' within Peckham. What do you personally feel is a luxury to you? money, cars, branded products? or is it something less physical such as health, family and security?

Any feedback on what luxury is to you would be really helpful!!

Thankyou for your time.

Good suggestion about a clipboard in Peckham but WHY is the OP 'wasting their time here'? Plenty of people from Peckham/Peckham Rye etc. on the forum...COuld be this is only one of severla ways in which they OP is trying to gather information (or at least I hope so)...

A luxury is being surrounded by positive people even those who are suffering for various reasons.

So alice sadly makes this place not very luxurious, if that is your definition.


Here's some of mine that happened this afternoon.

Just ridden around London on my motorcycle and didn't get wet despite the storms. My motorcycle is very comfortable and I am confident and enjoy riding: Luxury!

Came home and relaxed in a very hot and full bubble bath for about an hour: luxury!

Dried myself in warmed fluffy Egyptian cotton thick towels: luxury!

I've just eaten carrot sticks dipping them in taramasalata: luxury!

I may have a bacon and brie sarnie later: Luxury!


Get my drift?


Yet to me, luxury is not having anything to worry about, health wealth and happiness.

That rarely happens, so I take luxury in the little things. It's not Peckham related (I just happen to live here and love it). But it's a luxury to walk around a great park, and see the views of the whole of London from my home.

I'll second PeckhamRose. There are so many big worries at the minute that my 'luxuries' are perhaps to some 'small' things but are the things that make life really worth living.


Today: a cup of nice coffee and 5 minutes peace; a proper talk and walk with my 8-year old son; time to play with kids and live life at their speed and through their eyes; watching the sunset from the balcony of my flat; knowing that the park is at the end of the road; reading a good book - or even a not-so-good book; playing music.

      Nursery school

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
