The name 'Peckham' means the village on the River Peck. The river, which ran north into the Thames, was always small. It was directed through underground pipes in 1823 although its course and can still be seen as a linear depression on the west side of Peckham Rye Park. Watercourses are sometimes known as ryes and the street Rye Lane was named because it ran alongside the Peck and the area around what is now the park was known as Peckham Rye when Gilchrist published his biography of William Blake in 1863. When the railway station was opened on Rye Lane in 1865 it was named Peckham Rye to differentiate it from the adjacent station, Queens Road Peckham, and from East Peckham in Kent.
