Peckham Rye Common

In many ways the centrepiece of the area, Peckham Rye is a 113-acre park for the community. Any given weekend sees various local sports teams playing and practising – everything from rugby to hurling – kids populating the well-maintained playground, plus more hobbyist runners than you’ve ever seen in your life. It’s an excellent spot for a walk or a picnic, and contains manicured gardens with benches as well as its more open areas. In the summer months, it hosts various festivals including major dance music weekender Gala.
