With a rich mix of culture and smells, Peckham is one of the most ethnically diverse districts in London, with communities from Bangladesh, the Caribbean, China, India, Ireland, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkey, Eastern Europe and Vietnam. Discovered by creatives because of its exciting cheap spaces, the opportunities offered by this, and its’ proximity to the East on the overground, Peckham has grown in cultural ‘cool’. The secret is well and truly out, so before the developers get their grubby hands all over it come and take a wander around.

The sweet smell of freshly baked biscuits engulfs you like a cuddly hug as you step into Andy Geddes and Anita Khawaja’s artisan bakery and coffee shop – The Cinnamon Tree. In the kitchen at the back a small team chat while hand crafting biscuits, cakes and gingerbread men, which can also be ordered and designed for specific occasions. Try what I like to dub the ‘breakfast cookie’ chewy and sweet made with nuts, seeds and honey – best way to start the day with milky coffee.
