On the left, the view of Peckham Academy from Highshore Road. On the right, the view from Bellenden Road. But how academic, and need it look like a concentration camp?

On the corner of Holly Grove and Bellenden Road is wonderful Ganapati resturant offering authentic South Indian cuisine

Review bookshop on the corner of Choumert Road and Bellenden Road is a focal point for the centre of Bellenden.

I took these as a record when the Renewal works were completed in 2003. I hope to take some more in the near future which will provide an interesting opportunity to see how it has developed.

The number of singers swelled hugely by the time the group made its way along Bellenden Road to my bookshop. An example of how keen local people are to take part in community events.

Before the Bellenden Renewal scheme, this shopping parade was run down and tired to look at. I always felt it was really attractive beneath the grime and superficial dereliction. With the bircks cleaned, and the wood and stonework painted,and the shop fronts upgraded, it did the trick. Hey presto this is a very pleasant shopping street to be in. The extras of the new pavements, new lights and new bollards, courtesy of famous, then local, artist Anthony Gormley, and still local Tom Phillips, added an extra something, even if it might be arguments about the value of those extras.
