The Aylesham Centre

Overview

The Aylesham Shopping Centre in Rye Lane, Peckham is owned by Berkeley.

Berkeley plans to redevelop the site, mainly to build new housing, but also to create new retail and work space and improve public spaces.

This aligns with the council’s vision for Peckham as set out in the Southwark Plan. In particular Site Allocation NSP 74 Aylesham Centre and Peckham Bus Station.

The owner of the site, Berkeley, submitted a planning application in summer 2024.

The planned changes will:

  • improve accessibility and safety for visitors and residents
  • respect the existing context and create a distinctive skyline

The full proposals can be seen on the Aylesham Centre website.

Timeline

If the planning application is approved, the first phase of construction will be the new Morrisons supermarket. 

Work on housing will start in 2025 and will complete in 2027.

Based on current estimates, the whole development will be complete by 2034.
