St. Georges Way, Peckham, SE15

Set on the Camberwell-Peckham borders, directly opposite the sprawling green haven of Burgess Park, is this light and airy one-bedroom apartment, with a private 29ft south-facing terrace and allocated underground parking. Offering generously proportioned rooms, the property is positioned on the raised ground floor of this early 2000s purpose-built development, which feels tucked away from the pace of the city, yet places you within easy reach of some of South London's most vibrant neighbourhoods. Inside, the flat measures 523 square feet and feels even bigger in warmer months, thanks to the large terrace that runs the full width of the apartment. The accommodation features a semi-open plan reception room, which leads to the kitchen and the private terrace via double patio doors. The kitchen sits just off the living space, cleverly separated but still connected. It offers integrated appliances, good storage and a window overlooking the terrace. The bedroom offers built-in wardrobes and views over the terrace. The apartment is complete with a bathroom & ample storage is found in the hallway. Just across the road is Burgess Park, one of South London’s largest green spaces, covering 56 hectares and recently revitalised with an £8 million upgrade. Think: fishing lake, wildflower meadows, tennis courts, and a weekly park run. It's a brilliant extension of your outdoor space, a place to run, relax, or meet friends in the sunshine. Camberwell Leisure Centre, with its Grade II-listed Victorian pool and well-equipped gym, is just around the corner, while the independent bars, restaurants and cultural spaces of Camberwell, Peckham and Walworth are all within easy reach. Local favourites include Veraison Wines for natural bottles and bar snacks, Theo’s for wood-fired pizza, and The Camberwell Arms for elevated British fare. The Crypt under St Giles’ Church hosts brilliant live jazz every Friday — a local institution that’s well worth experiencing. Transport is excellent, with Queens Road Peckham and Elephant & Castle stations both nearby, offering Overground and National Rail connections as well as fast links on the Northern and Bakerloo lines. Buses run frequently through nearby Camberwell, Walworth and the Old Kent Road, and cycling into central London is an easy and enjoyable option thanks to the Cycle Superhighway.
