We hope you enjoy this Peckham and Nunhead Green Spaces Map. When we wanted to find out what parks, gardens, food and growing projects and play spaces were in the local area, we found there was no single map showing these, so we have put this together. We hope you use it to find spaces to visit and enjoy close to home and further afield in the local area. And if you discover spaces not included, please let us know so we can include these in the future. The map can also be found online: http://transitiontownpeckham.wordpress.com/
