Trains to Peckham Rye

Designed by the famed Charles Henry Driver, best known as the architect behind London's Denmark Hill and Battersea Park stations, Peckham Rye sits at a key railway interchange - served by the East London Line, Thameslink and the Sutton & Mole Valley services. While often cited as the most impressive of Driver's stations, Peckham Rye has failed to maintain much of its original architecture - unlike its more famous neighbours. Built in the 1860s, the station sits just north of Peckham, with Nunhead to the east, Honor Oak to the south and East Dulwich to its immediate west. The area is perhaps best known for its links to the English poet and artist William Blake, who once claimed to witness "a tree filled with angels, bright angelic wings bespangling every bough like stars " whilst residing on the Rye.
