HOME0001's Peckham building opens out to the cacophony of sights and sounds that is Rye Lane.

In the early 19th century, Peckham Rye was a quiet village surrounded by fields. While the 113-acre Peckham Rye Park still holds onto that tranquility, Rye Lane is now a bustling mix of markets, cafes, restaurants, and shops, reflecting one of the UK’s most ethnically diverse areas.

Nigerian businesses like Lalak Afrique and The Flygerians thrive in “Little Lagos.” Nearby, Khan’s Bargains claims to be Pechkam's most famous shop, Peckhamplex offers affordable films, and under the station arches, Hanar serves fantastic Kurdish food. Persepolis, Ganapati, and Avalon Cafe keep things vital, while Copeland Park and the Bussey Building are the area's creative heart. Books-Peckham is an independent book/zine store, and both Flat Time House and the German-Kneipe-style arts and social club SET are just some of the many living testaments to the cultural legacies of the area, which appear dotted about the surrounding quiet and leafy Victorian streets in this buzzing area of south-east London.
