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.

🎤 We ❤️🖤💚 To See It! Art Takeover in London's Piccadilly Square, curated by the iconic 🎤✨💯. Special shout-out to friend of , art curator extraordinaire and artiste Lauren Halsey for collaborating on this one. Beautiful 🏆 The official backstory goes...

"CIRCA PRESENTS LAUREN HALSEY CURATED BY MS. LAURYN HILL
Ahead of DIASPORA CALLING! this Friday, CIRCA presents a major new animated commission by Lauren Halsey, curated by Ms. Lauryn Hill and appearing for one night only on Piccadilly Lights at 8pm tonight. Created feverishly from thousands of individually cut image layers, the work unfolds as a vast, saturated collage of people, signs, places, symbols and cultural memory, bringing the many dimensions of Black life into motion across one of the world’s most visible public screens.

The commission emerged through dialogue with Lisa Anderson, the London-based curator whose work on DIASPORA CALLING! has been central to shaping the festival’s relationship between visual art, music and community. Anderson brought CIRCA into the project and recognised the significance of connecting Halsey’s practice with Ms. Hill’s wider vision, creating the conditions through which this new public work could take form.

For Halsey, the invitation carries a deeply personal history. Ms. Hill has been a formative presence in her life since childhood, not only through her music, but as a model for the ethics, principles and sense of responsibility that can guide an artist working within a larger cultural landscape. Their connection extends back to the original DIASPORA CALLING! presentation at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre in 2016, where Halsey contributed an engraving and saw her work placed in conversation with songs that had helped shape her own life. This new commission continues that exchange on an altogether different scale"

🎤 'The Good, the Black and the Boujee: How Black Britain became Middle Class' by Channel 4's is definitely on our Summer Reading List 📌

"In the year 2000 70% of Brits were living in but by the 2021 census that number had fallen to under 50%. This video is from a series explaining why and at what cost.

The new social history - The Good, the Black and the Boujee: How Black Britain became Middle Class () explains the role London has played in the emergence of a black middle class but what does that future look like without London following the city’s ?
