What is the Bellenden Road conservation area?

A Southwark Council conservation area along Bellenden Road and surrounding streets — known for its Victorian and Edwardian shopfronts, period housing and the indie food/drink scene that has matured over the past decade.

How does Peckham Rye compare to East Dulwich?

Peckham Rye typically offers slightly lower rents than equivalent East Dulwich stock, with overlapping demographics, similar period housing and shared park access. The Overground to Canada Water and Shoreditch is a key Peckham Rye differentiator.
