History and Location

Area 10 Project Space Peckham was initiated in 2002 in Peckham, Southwark, UK. It is based in a disused Timber Warehouse called Eagle Wharf on Peckham Square next to Peckham Library.

Eagle Wharf has a long history on the Grand Surrey Canal. From 1919 to 2002 it was family run Timber Yard. In the early days, the wood arrived at Eagle Wharf in the long barges. These had been pulled by Horses up the tow paths of the Grand Surrey Canal from the Surrey Docks at Rotherhithe where the timber had been shipped from around the world. In 2002 the Timber Yard moved next door to a purpose build warehouse.

Area 10 PSP is so called in reference to Brodmann area 10. It is thought to be involved in processes such as abstract thinking, cognitive flexibility, planning, multi-function, rule acquisition, initiating appropriate actions and inhibiting inappropriate actions, and selecting relevant sensory information.
