Each year in June, residents open their gates and celebrated gardens to the public. More than the sum of its parts, Choumert Square (which is actually a lane-way with noteworthy communal garden area at the top) was named after the 19th Century landowner George Choumert, who was of French extraction. The square enjoys a wonderful communal feel, alongside the garden shows you can expect book clubs and a resident's association alongside plenty of other community benefits.
Venturing beyond the confines of Choumert Square unveils the vibrant thoroughfare of Bellenden Road, a bustling epicentre boasting an eclectic array of eateries, boutiques, and local enterprises.

Those in pursuit of leisure and culture need only stroll to Rye Lane, where trendy destinations like Franks, The Bussey Building, and Peckham Plex Cinema await. Nature enthusiasts will revel in the abundance of green spaces, from the tranquil Warwick Gardens to the expansive Peckham Rye Park and Common, where seasonal festivals abound.
