In all honesty, Hannah Barry and related people have been doing this stuff in Peckham for ages (at least 3-4 years; I only moved there in 2007 but I remember the Sassoon Gallery being open a couple of years before that) so it's not very new.

I was surprised to see the date stamp on that article is October 14th 2009, as I remember reading one that was identical (in fact it might be the same article, repurposed) in a UK newspaper over a year ago.
