Peckham Town Football club known locally as the Menace was established in 1982 by Bryan Hall.

The club was first called Brimmington Park FC because a group of friends held kick - abouts every evening on the concrete play area that was known as Brimington Park which is situated off Colmer Road SE 15.

By the end of 1982 a local businessman had agreed to sponsor the team and it was decided by the members to change the club's name to Drovers Athletic FC as most of the players came from the new Drovers Place housing estate on Leo Street SE15.

An other name change was made at the end of 1983 by popular demand from residents to reflect the Peckham community and so Peckham Town Football Club was chosen as our name.

Over the years many famous and popular football names have come out of Peckham going on to become household name.

In 2008 seven players went on to gain professional contracts from the senior team.

In 2003 Harriet Harman QC MP and now Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and member of parliament for Peckham agreed to be the club's patron.
