Peckham is three and a half miles east of Charing Cross, served primarily by the A202 road between New Cross Gate and London Victoria; the A2214, linking the A202 with the A204; and the A2215, which connects to Peckham Rye. It's in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone, so certain non-compliant vehicles will be charged for driving in the area. Peckham bus garage is on Blackpool Road, and there are two railway stations: Peckham Rye and Queens Road.

Urban driving in Peckham may reduce fuel efficiency due to increased braking and accelerating, which also places greater strain on your engine. Slow-moving traffic reduces the airflow through your car's radiator, making the cooling system work harder, so you should check the coolant level regularly and top up as needed. Your brakes and suspension will also likely wear down quickly as you navigate busy roads with potholes. Since driving in Peckham can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.

Peckham is in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Low Emission Zone (LEZ), both of which are designed to reduce air pollution in the city. The ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day, and excludes the M25 motorway. It charges drivers of cars, vans, motorcycles and specialist vehicles that don't meet the emissions standards £12.50 a day. The LEZ also covers most of Greater London and specifically targets drivers of the most polluting diesel vehicles. It is enforced year-round, and the amount you pay varies. It usually ranges from £100-300 depending on your vehicle, and you can pay online. This guide explains everything you need to know about ULEZ and LEZ.

Car rust and paint repair is sometimes a necessity for older vehicles and those that have previously been involved in a collision. There are several ways to remove rust, such as mechanical removal (which uses grinders, wire brushes, sand blasters and sandpaper) and acidic rust removal (which involves applying acid to the area).

If the rust is minimal, you could attempt a rust spot repair at home; however, it's easy to cause more damage if you don't follow the proper steps. By comparison, a rusted car frame repair is much more complex. Extensive rust can compromise a vehicle's structural integrity, so it's best to let a professional repair it.

One of the best ways of preventing rust, particularly on your vehicle's chassis, is to book a car underseal specialist who will apply a thick, resilient coating to the underbody, protecting it from stones and debris.
