Combined with poor lighting and way finding, it creates a poor first impression of the town centre. Funding is being spent to bring underused spaces within the station back to life, and to rejuvenate the courtyard and arches to the station’s rear. Investment in these prominent spaces will make them suitable for a range of different uses, from shops and cafes, to community uses and workspaces for local businesses. Importantly, these changes will make Peckham Rye station a safer, more appealing and welcoming place, with more activity and footfall.
