Asylum Road, Peckham, London, SE15

Architecture & interior
The Carlton Works is a grand piece of Victorian industrial architecture. The building is atypical of industrial architecture with high ceilings and Crittall windows throughout.

Set back from the road, the building is nestled away behind iron gates providing tranquillity and calmness.

Whilst the location is extremely central, it’s a remarkably quiet place to live. Located on the second floor, the space offers a large open plan lounge area with a compact kitchen attached, as well as an undisturbed south-facing view.

The kitchen cabinet doors are covered with an oxidised steel to give a metallic finish.

There’s a separate double bedroom enjoying that industrial aesthetic with more windows and the high ceilings. There is plenty of storage in the bedroom with triple height cupboards that reach to the ceiling. The high ceilings, expanse of walls and windows set the scene nicely and embody loft living.

The monochrome bathroom provides a bath alongside an overhead shower.
Amongst the sea of regeneration, it’s refreshing to see an authentic industrial building surrounded by all the bland, new developments.

In the neighbourhood
Queens Road is renowned for its independent cafés and restaurants, including Peckham Cellars and the Blackbird Bakery under the railway arches. Also in the neighbourhood Forza Win is a firm favourite, along with The Deserted Cactus Caribbean restaurant and local hotspot The Begging Bowl serving tasty Thai food.

Rye Lane, Peckham Levels and Franks Rooftop Bar are a short walk away.
There is plenty of green open space in the area with Burgess Park and Brimmington Park within a ten-minute walk which provide a respite for residents.

Transport & Connections
Queen’s Road station is a 10-minute walk away and offers a quick and easy commute to central and east London.

The proposed extension to the Bakerloo line would see a new station moment from The Carlton Works at the junction of Asylum Road and the Old Kent Road.

Buses are available a stone’s throw away on Old Kent Road , which provides routes into central London. Peckham Rye station, a 20-minute walk away, runs services to Farringdon and Victoria.
