Peckham was &quot;up and coming&quot; when I was there in 2000. Good luck with that.<p>Just for you:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thedailymash.co.uk&#x2F;news&#x2F;society&#x2F;london-property-market-boosted-by-people-pretending-grim-places-are-great-2013053070398" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thedailymash.co.uk&#x2F;news&#x2F;society&#x2F;london-property-m...</a><p>&quot;But how would I live without all the art galleries I never visit, my four-hour daily commute, being groped on the Tube, black snot, getting mugged for my iPhone, and my upstairs neighbour’s regular all-night dubstep sessions?&quot;<p>I lived in Peckham. One night I went next door to tell my neighbour to stop playing dance music full volume at 4am. Another time I phoned the police and they would only send someone round when they had enough backup. &quot;Good times&quot;.
