Good question. We had visitors staying recently and warned them it was bad. However, there had been heavy rain so the stairs from platform 4 were like a waterfall and as for the ticket hall and archway through to Blenheim Grove - filthy. In the time taken on the co-creation we could have seen some meaningful change. Seems like people are more interested in the debate than the results.

There still isn't agreement over how to develop it (including the square) - or if there is I'm not sure what it is.


Since the Peckham CoDesign process that is - no update on this blog since November

nor this

the architects recently submitted their latest plan (the previous, by different architects, caused an uproar). It's nice, no extra commercial developments, lots of green spaces and a slight rusty metal theme throughout (a la anthony gormley).


barring any major objection, it should be submitted for planning permission in September.


hope it does and that it gets built ASAP! the current station is a dump.

Looks like this is the latest website for Peckham square :)

I think the same architects are doing Peckham rye (maybe)


This one looks to be the station (after a bit of search) - links to a pdf with pics

rfolgado - Realised that after going through the site - not sure

who the architects are for PR station still. The drawing out and

plans have a lot of detail however.


There is also a small development being planned in Copeland road car

park (although maybe people not that interested in that one)

A cheeky, simple western exit onto Bellenden Road wouldn't be such a terrible idea - would open up the catchment a lot more (Harris and even up to Peckham Road) - as the current route up to the platforms isn't very intuitive from the west.

I want the developments to be bold but, more importantly, useful and practical. I don't want diluted-down, committee-designed naffness but I'm not sure I will get it. (Some of the hackneyed eyewash I saw in that PDF was lamentable.)

Encourage all manner of businesses but make sure they know they have a (self) interest in keeping the place tidy and clean; clear the piazza in front of the station; offer seating (but strive not to attract congregations of piss-heads, like has happened in Brixton outside the Ritzy); plant trees and borders and *maintain* them well; keep the buses moving; penalise illegal parkers that cause annoying and pollution-enhancing jams (as is the case now, with nary an intervention) and just use common sense in the design and implementation.

Here's hoping.......

      Be careful on the pavements...

      It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.

      Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.

      I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
