What stands out in Peckham

The strongest measurements here are social infrastructure (10.0/10), road connectivity (9.4/10) and climate comfort (8.9/10) — social infrastructure is the highest single reading on the page.

The weakest are architectural quality (3.5/10), privacy (3.5/10) and upkeep (4.0/10). A low reading is not automatically a dealbreaker — architectural quality matters far more to some people than others — but it is where Peckham gives up ground against better-scoring areas.

Green & air in Peckham

Green & air covers greenery, air and water quality, and the natural features around the streets. Peckham scores 5.9/10 here, which is unremarkable.

Underneath it: green spaces 7.1, environmental quality 4.5 and natural features 6.3, each out of 10. The gap between green spaces and environmental quality is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.

Underneath it: spatial comfort 5.0, privacy 3.5, human scale 8.0, street life 5.7 and climate comfort 8.9. The gap between climate comfort and privacy is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.

Getting around covers how easily you get out of the area and reach what you need. Peckham scores 8.4/10 here, which does well.

Underneath it: transit access 7.3 and road connectivity 9.4. The gap between road connectivity and transit access is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.

How this area was scored

Each HoodEx analysis of Peckham reads satellite and street-level imagery for the area and scores the five categories above; where there is more than one, the page shows the average.

Scores are a starting point, not a substitute for standing on the street. They are consistent — every area is measured the same way, so comparing two of them is meaningful — but they cannot tell you about a noisy neighbour, a good landlord or a bad bus route. People who have lived here can add that sort of detail on this page.
