Charles This was called Meeting House Lane(according to a local historian)because there was a Quakers meeting house there. Southwark Local Studies Library 211 Borough high Street,S.E.1 1JA. Phone 0207 403 3507 Fax 0207 403 8633 They have an extensive run of directories. Hope this helps. Best Wishes Gwen

Hi There Bit of a coincidence - Hubby and I were married in St John with St Andrew Church in Meeting House Lane Peckham - in 1985. Would the Vicar have any records that could help you? I know the vicar there has recently retired, but am sure if you write to the church wardens, they might help. The house the vicar lived in is adj to church. (No 10 Meeting House Lane). If anybody asks where hubby and I met - we answer the Asylum - this being a Public House on the corner of Meeting House Lane and Asylum Road. Apparently, years gone by, there used to be a Asylum further down Asylum Road, which apparently became some sort of home for Licencesed Victulars, although not sure what it is now. Liz
