'Is there life in Peckham?' asks a pop song of the 1980s. Peckham has been treated as a joke and a place to be avoided. It has been celebrated in television comedies, and denigrated for its levels of crime. It is a centre for the arts and the creative industries, yet it also suffers from social deprivation and racial tension. 'Passport to Peckham' is a guide to an unofficial part of London - social and cultural history written from the ground up. In this entertaining and engaging account, Hewison invites readers to explore Peckham's streets and presents the portrait of a community experiencing the stresses of modern living.
