Today I was planning to post about Peckham Print Studio. A water-based screen printing studio, they not only produce cool work for brands including Urban Outfitters, they also offer open access memberships and workshops for people to learn the skills or create their own work.

However while eating my porridge, reading Twitter this morning, I learnt that Peckham Print Studio could be under threat. It’s housed in The Sunday Painter gallery, which along with other creative businesses like Hannah Barry Gallery and Bar Story (a bar where creatives drink, so I think that counts) have established themselves in the railway arches along Blenheim Grove, Peckham Rye. Sadly a project to regenerate Peckham Rye Station has been expanded to include all of the land on the site owned by Network Rail. It is likely that the plan being approved would force these businesses out. Read more at Peckham’s local paper, The Peckham Peculiar, to decide for yourself whether evicting businesses that have been at the heart of Peckham’s creative evolution is a case of regeneration by sledgehammer.
