Peckham Rise & Nunhead Cemetery
South London's most talked-about neighbourhood, ending at a Victorian cemetery that makes Highgate look busy. Walked and written by the editor. https://walkwalk.org/london/walks/peckham-and-nunhead

1. Peckham Rye Common
Start at the common. The park and common together are the largest open green space in south-east London and much less visited than they deserve.

2. Bellenden Road
The residential spine of Peckham's regenerated quarter. The independent restaurants and cafés are all here; try Artusi or Kudu if you're eating.

3. Peckham Square
The civic heart. The library with its upside-down L shape is one of the best pieces of public architecture in London, and always worth going in.

4. Peckham Levels
A multi-storey car park converted into studios, bars, and a roof garden. The roof has a view south; the creative mix on the floors below is real rather than curated.

5. Nunhead Cemetery
One of the Magnificent Seven Victorian cemeteries, and the least visited. Trees growing through the ruins of the chapel, Commonwealth war graves, and entire lanes where the stones have fallen.
