COOL PLACES BUT BE CAREFUL

Angelina Skonzhenko (Tenant)

Idaline Court at Peckham Place, SE15

Sept 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Living near Queens Road Peckham has a real mix of positives and drawbacks. On the plus side, there’s a great choice of shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs within walking distance, and larger parks like Burgess Park and Peckham Rye nearby for green space. Transport links are excellent, with the Overground, fast trains to central London and plenty of buses. On the downside, parking is quite limited, traffic and rail noise are noticeable, and the main road can feel busy at times. Bin collections are fairly reliable, and while there’s the occasional issue with noise or anti-social behaviour, the area overall feels lively, diverse and well-connected.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The building management has generally been responsive, addressing issues in a timely manner, though sometimes follow-ups are needed.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I had known how limited the parking can be and how noticeable the traffic and rail noise is at certain times of day—things you don’t really pick up on during a short viewing. On the positive side, I also hadn’t realised just how handy the transport links would be, making commuting far easier than expected.

My favourite place I’ve lived in London.

Sept 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

I love living in Peckham. It’s got the best clubs the best food restaurants and shops you actually cannot beat Peckham as a place to live. We’ve got Prince of Peckham as a place to go out you’ve got Lidl times two up the road I don’t drive but every time I’ve needed to get parking for my friends I’ve sorted it. There’s been rooms never any antisocial behaviour and it’s pretty quiet.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Things get sorted in the same week that you need it never have any complaints to be quite honest.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Hello, I wish I’d known that there was such a community here so I’ve got involved way quicker.
