It doesn't need regeneration': Peckham's charm under threat from gentrification plans
Briefly

There's a scene in Rye Lane, a film said to be breathing new life into romcoms, where the two main characters stroll past a body-popping white-haired man in a spangly Yves Klein blue cowboy outfit, then continue their conversation sitting in giant high heels outside a shoe shop.The moonwalking cowboy is an actor, but the shoe shop is real one of dozens of outlets inside Rye Lane market giving Peckham the personality that inspired the film's director, Raine Allen-Miller, to treat the south London neighbourhood as a character rather than mere scenery.
