As a group we all went out and explored our new locations.
Peckham.
The market selling £1 a blow fruits, loud sounds from street vendors and people walking past with no care in the world. This is one sight of Peckham.
The people are loud, yet friendly.
They can have a hard shell but a soft inside.
Deptford.
Deptford was not as live as Peckham and seemed more quieter.
The overlaying of flyers on the wall, some rubbish on the floor and an area that had been gentrified .
Even at night most of the stores closes and the high street is quiet.
It has improved its high street.
People were not happy to see a camera in the area.
When we tried to interview some people, we were rejected. However we did mange to get through and talk to some people about the area they love.
Everyone loved how Peckham has changed and become something new, while still holding onto its culture.
" Its a bit shit but not too shit"
That does sum up both Peckham and Deptford.
from the outside it can appear to be loud but as you look further in, you see a warm community that embraces everyone.
The gentrification has certainly begun in the area. However as long as it doesn't loose it's roots, the essence of the place will carry on its charm.
