Peckham town centre is set to undergo significant transformation with the planned demolition of a dilapidated 1930s shopping arcade, paving the way for a new public square. Managed by BAM Nuttal under Southwark Council, the demolition is anticipated to commence this summer, post the relocation of current businesses. This project is part of a larger regeneration scheme authorized in 2016, aiming to enhance the amenity and aesthetic of the area. Additionally, it will complement future upgrades to Peckham Rye station, pending governmental funding. Cllr Helen Dennis voiced enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing its importance to the community.
