ELEVATING EVERY RESIDENT'S STORY
A station that works for everyone.
Peckham Rye is a vital station at the heart of our community. But today, passengers who cannot use stairs face barriers that should no longer exist.
Our mission is simple: secure the investment needed to make Peckham Rye Station step free and accessible to everyone.
We want to build on the progress we’ve already made and work with the Department for Transport to find viable pathways to funding the £45million needed before the next Spending Review to deliver lifts and step-free access throughout the station.
The Plan
The next step is to show the Government just how strong the demand is for a fully accessible Peckham Rye Station.
We’ve waited long enough.
We secured the first £5 million.
Now we need to secure the next £45 million.

What we’ve achieved so far
£5M FOR PECKHAM RYE STATION SQUARE
We’ve already secured the first step. This campaign didn’t start today. For years, residents, local councillors and community activists have pushed for investment in Peckham Rye Station.
That campaigning has delivered real progress.
£5 million secured
We secured £5 million of investment to begin transforming Peckham Rye Station and its surroundings.
The first phase of improvements will help ease overcrowding and improve how people move through the station, including wider barriers.
The funding will help regenerate Peckham Rye Station Square, creating a better arrival point for passengers and the wider community.
The improvements will respect and preserve the historic character of this much-loved station while preparing it for the future.
But this is only the beginning.
