Dilapidated arcade to be demolished to create Peckham Rye station square
"The current grade II listed station, blocked by the arcade, will transform into a light and spacious civic square this summer, benefiting the community."
"The new station square will show the 1860s building's facade, while providing amenities like wider platforms, accessible toilets, and a Dovedale Court entrance."
The historic Peckham Rye Station, built in the 1860s, will undergo a significant transformation as Southwark Council plans to demolish the long-blocked arcade. This project, queued for demolition since 2016, aims to turn the station entrance into a spacious civic square, expected to be completed by next year. Enhancements include a new concourse, lift access to all platforms, and improved safety features. The council is focused on revitalizing the area, responding to community desires for regeneration, and fostering a welcoming space for both residents and visitors.
