The Palms

The Palms A specialist creative social enterprise retail hub in the heart of Peckham.

Celebrating Afro-Caribbean/Black diaspora beauty and wellness culture and supporting small and independent entrepreneurs in this community. The Palms exists to protect and elevate Black hair, beauty, wellness creative entrepreneurs, and our local salons and barbers serving as a vital part of the London high street and nightlife economy, and building on Peckham’s reputation as both the centre of Lo

ndon’s creative community and a long standing destination for a quality affordable beauty and personal grooming. The Palms in Peckham was conceived in 2015 in response to the loss of trading space for hair and beauty businesses in Peckham Town Centre. The Palms at Peckham will house:

- New retail spaces for local independent hair & beauty businesses
- Food, drink and childcare facilities
- Affordable Salon Chairs for hire
- A new community space for residents of the Atwell Estate
- A covered events space for markets, launch events and community use
- Palms trees and plant sales.
- An improved and secure access land for deliveries to businesses on Rye Lane

Just as palm trees offer shade on a hot summers day, The Palms will shelter new salon businesses from the heat of the London property market and help them to thrive and grow.

The legendary Pauline Black. Trailblazer 🏆

'👩🏿‍🎤🎤As the fierce frontwoman of The Selecter - the British two tone band that fused ska, punk and reggae - Pauline Black didn’t just define an era; she shattered racial and musical boundaries. ⁣
⁣
But while she was breaking barriers in public, she was battling a hidden past in private.⁣
⁣
A black little girl adopted by a white family, she grew up hearing harmful stereotypes and knowing nothing of her Nigerian roots. ⁣
⁣
It took years of searching to piece together who she really was.⁣'

✨ Reshaping our creative narratives 📌 On the Radar...

- 'Africa’s creative economy is an invisible power.

On the red carpet at the TIME100 Impact Dinner, co-founder Idris Elba shared the driving vision behind Akuna Daily, which officially launched this week on Africa Day!

Akuna Daily is a storytelling hub designed as an extension of the Akuna Wallet ecosystem. Its mission is to gather and highlight stories of diverse creators, artists, and innovators across the African continent—while addressing the critical, everyday challenge of global payment access for freelancers.

As Idris reminds us, the creative sector is about more than quick returns; it is about identity, ownership, and telling our own stories to the world.' 🌍
