PECKHAM
Why we love Peckham
Peckham, located in South London, has gained recognition as a cultural gem that embodies the essence of London’s evolving identity. The name Peckham means “village of the river Peck,” referring to the stream that ran through the area until the early 1600s.
Peckham has undergone significant changes over the past few years, with new developments attracting a diverse mix of people and companies. The area now has a lively community with a rich mix of cultures. The Nigerian community is one of the most noticeable and active immigrant communities in Peckham, with one of the largest Nigerian diaspora populations in the UK calling the area home. With its rich history, diverse community, and lively atmosphere, this South London district is a gem waiting to be discovered.
