An introduction to Peckham by gIRLS aBOUT pECKHAM.

“gIRLS aBOUT pECKHAM (g.a.p) is a platform I established in 2019 to build creative opportunities for young females in Peckham, South East London. Practicing a ‘no hype, just substance’ policy, our four corners are girls, fashion, culture and community. We are proudly centred on projects that
respond to and reflect local needs and issues. From promoting DJ collectives
and fashion designers to making zines, producing films and hosting dance classes, we’ve done it, and some of our girls have even featured in Fenty campaigns.”

We're a "mom & pop" hole in the wall restaurant that strives for authenticity and quality. After over 20 years in the kitchen we are now excited to be in Peckham Rye Lane Market after moving from Brixton.

Enjoy the flavours of the Caribbean, the Andes, the Patagonia, the Pacific and beyond. We love to represent the 35 nations of the Americas with a particular concentration and Love for Latin America.

Royal Maroon Herbs has changed over the years from what started as a hobby to a business, where the founders were exposed to agriculture due to having grown up on one of the largest farms in Jamaica. From the start, they took a special interest in various herbs and their therapeutic properties, and over the past 4 decades, they have deepened their expertise and mastered all aspects related to holistic herbal remedies.

Their business model includes manufacturing, packaging, and the wholesale distribution of natural herbal products. Royal Maroon provides holistic herbal health consultation services for clients and sells organic herb products for many ailments. The founders have over 40 years of experience in herbal treatment coupled with being passionate about the health and wellbeing of others while offering natural remedies from Jamaica, Caribbean and Africa.

Soni & Girl offer a broad range of beauty services including advanced beauty services at competitive prices.

We invest in and use the most technologically advanced and highest quality products. We also commit to continually train the people we work with to ensure the most professional and bespoke service from our friendly team.

Dona Berta shop has 19 years of experience in the selection and sale of the best products from Latin America in Europe. Thanks to this, we can say that we are pioneers in London, in bringing these new or long-awaited flavours from our lands. Our goal is to get happy customers who, when they come in our store, have a unique experience, as if they were in a local neighbourhood shop. We hope to continue growing our business and satisfying our customers who come from all over the UK to shop with us.

Aklowa Perfumes supply perfumes and fragrances for all occasions. We have amaing products on offer which include fragrances, oils, incense, shea butter, black soap and scented candles.

Ruffle My
Petals brings you fresh and dried bold, bright, textured, untraditional floral
works of art. Based in South East London Peckham Ruffle My Petals, by Antonia
creates fun and impactful florals perfect as gifts or to keep around your home.

The
Palace Of The Dogs is a multi-disciplinary arts collective comprising of:
Daniel Bailey, Vanessa Fisher, Chia Phoenix & Kieran Mcginn. They are
experienced Film and theatre practitioners redirecting the purpose of art.

Satellite is a platform for artists and makers at any
stage in their career to display, buy and sell work. The store is split
straight down the middle, so on one side you have the store and on the other,
you have the gallery space. 
















For example, in our first two weeks, you could go in
and pick up vintage copies of ‘The Face’ magazine or flick through a selection
of records, step a few metres to your right and you’d have been greeted by
artwork from the current exhibition.

As much as the store is there to satisfy the nostalgic craving of
my generation, I also show and sell work that has been printed, drawn, painted
and then put on display within the same few weeks. For example, the Grindstone
T’s by Taylor Chevrall and Fin Addison was stocked exclusively at Satellite
before they were even released online. So the store is this carefully curated
archive of artwork and items from the past and present for any passerby to
enjoy.

Peckham Organics is more than an organic shop - it's a healthy lifestyle hub. We offer a wide range of 100% natural, organic, vegan, vegetarian and free from food products and supplements along with household (including refillable) products made from natural and organic ingredients. Come join the Club of like-minded people!

“A family-run North African stall just off Rye Lane, they specialise in speedy and deeply satisfying wraps. The fillings - think falafel, fresh salad, and tender lamb shawarma - are great, but it’s the wraps themselves that really make this place a must-try lunch spot. They cook each wrap fresh for every customer and it’s delightfully chewy and thick. Thanks to their £6 price tag, Yemanes is permanently busy at all hours, but the wait is worth it, and if you’re really feeling bold you can fight it out for one of their few little pavement tables.”

Dan and Den Superstore started trading in January 2008 from Choumert Road in  Peckham Rye. The store initially sold cosmetics and Church items, then introduced selling Italian shoes and bags. In 2010, we decided to focus on selling our core products of selling church items.

In 2011, an opportunity presented itself where the store moved to a bigger premise but later had to downsize again to our current premises due to the fierce competition of trading in Peckham.
Today, the store still specialises in church items but has now diversified into selling African food- specialising in Nigerian food items.
The store also operates a pay zone and DHL service.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the store's reach has grown to include delivery of food items directly to customers and other wholesalers in London and Kent.
In addition, we have invested in our social media outreach, and we are currently developing our online website where our customers can order their church and food items directly to be delivered across the UK and abroad.
You can reach us on all our social media outlets.
