its been and gone now but if you went to Troy Town you couldnt have missed it. The green itself was part of an adjoining estate.
BTW Troy Town was featured on Robert Elms notes and queries a few months back, as to why its called Troy Town. A Troy Town can mean one of two things
a maze
a maze particularly created of low knee-height shrubs.
The consensus seemed to be that at some point before houses were built on it there was such a maze, and it would have stood directly opposite from the Lido (and before there was a lido there there was a naturally occurring pond on that site) and where Troy Town road runs .

We've had quite a few threads on Peckham so I thought it might be worth opening up a dedicated thread for general chit chat.
Let me start it off with some photos from the DIY Art Market that took place in the Copeland Gallery (by the Bussey) today:

I went to the cinema there today which is very affordable, £4.99 for a movie. The peckamplex is nothing as fancy as the ritzy but it's serviceable and is affordable for all.
We then had some tapas in Miss Tapas which is down the street where the market is...tiny place, really delicious and not expensive.
General vibe in Peckham was like Brixton circa 2001.
Apart from the hipster, trendy joints which are everywhere in london now, Peckham still feels real and still has it's original community. Most of the original local shops are still present along the high street and it felt easy walking around. I'll definitely be spending more time here.

It just felt refreshing to be able to walk past rows of normal shops and not feel like the entire place was aimed at servicing the middle class/hipster/well off tourist demographic. Sure, gentrification is taking a grip there, but as you say, it feels a long, long way behind where Brixton is at now.
