Peckham Space, a new public venue for arts events and exhibitions, has opened in South London.

The scheme is the result of a collaboration between the University of the Arts London, The Arts Council and Southwark Council.

Cllr Tayo Situ, mayor of Southwark and chair of the Peckham Community Council, said: "This is a fantastic project that will benefit experienced and young artists and I congratulate the Camberwell College of Arts and all partners involved in this scheme. I look very much forward to enjoying their masterpiece with them."

Designed by Penson Group, the centre has been made out of recycled materials and offers a large amount of exhibition and workshop space.
