Homes in Peckham
Peckham has a large stock of Victorian terraces, many converted into flats, with Georgian and early Victorian houses in the Peckham Hill Street and Bellenden conservation areas. Nunhead has quieter streets of late Victorian terraces near the cemetery.
Post-war council estates are common, and some, such as the North Peckham estates, have been rebuilt. Warehouse and commercial conversions around Rye Lane add variety. The area sits on London Clay with mature street trees, and many terraces have had loft and rear extensions. Prices have risen sharply over the past two decades, and Peckham is popular with young professionals and creatives.
