The Peckham Coal Line
Overview
The Peckham Coal Line is a community-led project aimed at transforming a disused railway line in Peckham into a new linear park. This initiative seeks to reconnect local neighbourhoods, providing a green space that fosters community connection and economic growth. The project is managed by a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) registered with the Charity Commission under the number 1165247.
Objectives and Benefits
The Peckham Coal Line aims to create a public park that enhances health, innovation, connection, education, nature, and community development. It aligns with several local and national government objectives by promoting physical activity, social interaction, and environmental sustainability. The project is designed to be delivered in stages as resources and development opportunities become available.
Funding and Development
The project has received support from the Greater London Authority (GLA). In 2015, the GLA provided £10,000 towards feasibility studies for the project, contributing to a total investment of £75,757. In 2020, the Peckham Coal Line received additional development funding of £50,000 from the GLA's Good Growth Fund, focusing on development in the Bidwell Street area.
Community Engagement
The Peckham Coal Line is distinguished by its community-led approach, involving local residents in the design and delivery of the project. This bottom-up methodology ensures that the final product reflects the needs and aspirations of the local community. The project also offers opportunities for training and employment, enhancing its social impact.
Progress and Future Plans
The Peckham Coal Line has progressed from conceptualization to a feasible and economically viable proposal. The ongoing development stages will see the transformation of the disused railway into a vibrant public space, offering walking and cycling routes, recreational areas, and opportunities for community engagement and business growth.

Thank you for your interest and support of the Peckham Coal Line. This project is currently paused. The project has been running since 2014 and has been managed by a core team of trustees who live in the local area. Over the last year we, the current trustees, have been going through a process of evaluation and reflection and feel it is time to step down from this stage of the project. In the eight years between 2014 and 2022 a huge amount was achieved, including: -Open House events to showcase the potential linear park -A successful crowdfunding campaign via Spacehive to raise funds for a feasibility study -Delivering the feasibility study and proving the schemes is viable -Securing commitment to the project in Southwark’s local plan -Developing the first two phases of the PCL – the Stable Yard and the entrance to Kirkwood Nature Reserve -Running countless events and engaging with all corners of the community. The project reached a natural evolutionary stage in 2022 when the PCL withdrew from discussions with the Greater London Authority and Southwark Council over the development of Bidwell Street. This was not a decision reached lightly. A consultant was appointed and agreed in principle by all parties, but following 18 months of meetings and discussions, it was clear that neither authority was committed to releasing funding to support this stage of the project. We have examined and set out the lessons in a Learning Hub. We hope our transparency will aid the future delivery of the PCL as well as other community-based projects. Thank you to all our supporters, friends and crowdfunders who have helped to get the PCL to this point. As the feasibility project proved, this project offers huge benefits to all residents and businesses in the local area. The vision for the Peckham Coal Line is not going away and we hope the project continues to receive widespread support. If you are interested in being part of the new core team of trustees/volunteers, please refer to our advice on how to get involved.

The Peckham Coal Line is a communityled project to reconnect Peckhams neighbourhoods with a new linear park linking Queens Road Peckham and Rye Lane connecting communities opening up business possibilities and creating new green space. The group is incorporated as a registered charity. The unique way the Coal Line has been developed and designed in partnership with the local community means that a major piece of London infrastructure will not be imposed from the top down but grown from the bottom up.
