London Shopping

Peckham Rye

Peckham Rye Review

The epicenter of "Swinging London" in the mid-'60s has recently undergone a renaissance, particularly in the "Newburgh Quarter," the small cobblestone streets leading off Carnaby Street. Here's where you'll find small specialist boutiques such as Peckham Rye, a tiny bolt-hole showcasing heritage-style men's accessories—handmade silk and twill ties (the name is Cockney rhyming slang for same), bow ties, and scarves, all using traditional patterns from the archives of this family-run business that go back to 1799. More Ralph Lauren than Ralph Lauren, the socks, striped shirts, and handkerchiefs attract modern-day Beau Brummels such as Mark Ronson and David Beckham.
