"Step off the busy, litter-strewn thoroughfare and Peckham opens up. Home to a vibrant Afro-Caribbean community, the neighbourhood is never boring - or silent. Jazz wafts from the CLF Art Lounge most weekends, DJs pump out electronica from rooftop bars, and there's always Afrobeat playing somewhere - they don't call it "Little Lagos" for nothing."
"It would be a total understatement to call Peckham a melting-pot. Home to Del Boy, road rap hero Giggs, national acting treasures Olivia Colman and John Boyega and a much-photographed pink staircase, this south-east London neighbourhood is a place where a multitude of cultures exist alongside one another, creating a vibe that is completely unique."
Peckham ranks as the top cool neighbourhood, blending cultural diversity with independent shops, cafes, energetic bars and music venues alongside an appealing grit. The SE15 area is described as loud, messy and chaotic while revealing calmer, characterful pockets beyond busy, litter-strewn thoroughfares. A strong Afro-Caribbean presence fills the neighbourhood with jazz at CLF Art Lounge, DJs on rooftop bars and constant Afrobeat, prompting the nickname "Little Lagos." Peckham offers cultural icons, affordable entertainment such as Peckhamplex, popular eateries like Janda Diner and outdoor artwork at Bold Tendencies.
