South East London has quickly become one of the city’s most exciting corners - full of creativity, community spirit, and culture. The boroughs of Lewisham and Peckham are home to rooftop bars, art spaces, local markets, and some of London’s most-loved hidden gems. Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or a longer stay in one of our Pass the Keys Lewisham and Peckham short-lets, here are ten amazing things to do in the area.
Peckham Levels
A true South London icon. Peckham Levels transformed a multi-storey car park into a creative hub of independent eateries, bars, and studios. Don’t miss Frank’s Café on the rooftop - a summer hotspot with city views and local art.
Deptford Market Yard
Under the railway arches lies Deptford Market Yard, a buzzing scene of artisan stalls, bars, and boutiques. Grab a bite from local street food vendors and enjoy live music as you soak up the creative atmosphere.
Dulwich Village
A short stroll away, Dulwich Village is perfect for a slower pace. Visit the Dulwich Picture Gallery, browse charming shops, or stop for coffee in one of the village’s cosy cafés surrounded by Georgian architecture.
Telegraph Hill Park
For breathtaking skyline views, head to Telegraph Hill Park near New Cross. Ideal for morning walks, yoga sessions, or simply watching the sun dip over London’s skyline.
Brockley Market
This local Saturday market is a must for food lovers - with everything from artisan doughnuts to freshly roasted coffee. Perfect for brunch or a weekend treat.
