If you’re feeling a little sluggish after overindulging at crimbo then a long walk might be what you need. Close to Peckham is The Nunhead Cemetery. It is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries in London and even though it might be the least famous, it is one of the most beautiful. For those looking for a bit of history, be sure to stop in and take in the graves of William Brough, Cicely Not, and Alfred Vance, among other notables. And if you have some change, why not treat yourself to a delish coffee at Goodcup on close by Nunhead Green.
Still, looking for a bit of a bargain? Lots of local places have some great food and drink offers throughout the week like 50% off all food at Two Hundred Rye lane after 4pm on a Sunday. Plus Peckham loves a Happy Hour Like Funkidory bar - they create some of the most amazing cocktails and you can try the for £5 during their happy hour!
