Guide to show arty side of area

Zandra Rhodes has created lampposts for the area

Peckham may not be the first place people would visit to see the work of top designers but a new guide aims to change all that.

The Peckham Tourist Map shows where street furniture, created by the likes of Zandra Rhodes and Antony Gormley, can be found in south London.

The items are in Bellenden Road and the surrounding streets, which have recently been regenerated.

Footballer Anton Ferdinand will launch the guide later on Thursday.

Anton's brother, and England player, Rio who grew up in Peckham said: "I think a Peckham Tourist Map is a great idea to get out there for people who have never visited the area.

Glass mosaics

"Peckham certainly has a lot of great stuff going on, but still has such a bad reputation, due to a few rotten apples ruining it for everyone."

Visitors to the area will be able to find their way to sculptor Antony Gormley's bollards and fashion designer Zandra Rhodes' "liquorice stick" lampposts.

Tom Phillips has also added bar-code pavements and glass mosaics.

In addition the guide features places of interest, restaurants, cafes and open spaces.
