the tree leaves just coming out and the pink blossom fully out in almost all the streets. This one near the corner with Costa Street and the Montpelier.

The Rye Lane West area of Peckham is full of hidden surprises. Many people will know what the Almshouses in Choumert Road look like from the front but probably don't peer round the back. The Victorians usually treated rear domestic elevations in a fairly basic manner but here there is real attention to the architectural detail. Note especially the parapet/coping detail, and the roof profiles. And who said chimneys are always boring?

Choumert Road is the only road that spans the whole width - west to east - of the neighbourhood. From the western top end of the road you can see all the way to Rye Lane and see the buses moving along in the distance. Here the neighbourhood goes gently down from the sedate quiet residential area crossing the Bellenden shopping parade and entering the bustling trading area through Choumert Market into the very different atmosphere of the town centre at Rye Lane.

Petitou, on the corner of Reedham Street and Choumert Road, is a delight to the eye as well as for the food.
