Carpet Shop

The Carpet Shop in Peckham is one of South London’s most exciting nightlife spots, created by the team behind the renowned Corsica Studios. Tucked away under the arches on Rye Lane, this intimate venue offers a stripped-back, DIY aesthetic paired with a powerful sound system that guarantees an exceptional audio experience. Its unique charm lies in its no-frills approach, focusing on quality music and atmosphere rather than flashy décor. During the day, the space doubles as a vibrant taco restaurant complete with outdoor seating, called Taquiza, adding an unexpected twist to its identity and making it a versatile destination for locals and visitors alike.

Music lovers will find plenty to enjoy at The Carpet Shop, with programming that spans a wide range of genres from psytrance and Italo disco to house, techno, grime and dubstep. The venue has become a hub for underground sounds, regularly hosting some of London’s most innovative DJs and collectives. Line-ups have featured names like JD. Reid, Oneman, Harri Pepper and DJ Flight, alongside themed nights such as Heels & Souls and LGBTQ+ dance parties. With a capacity of around 200, the club offers an intimate setting where the energy of the crowd and the music truly connect.

What sets The Carpet Shop apart is its community-driven ethos and creative flexibility. In the summer months, the venue opens its courtyard for day parties, creating a festival-like vibe in the heart of Peckham. Its reputation for top-notch programming and inclusive atmosphere has made it a favourite among those seeking authentic nightlife experiences away from the mainstream. Whether you’re after a late-night dance session or a laid-back daytime gathering, The Carpet Shop delivers a distinctive blend of music, culture and local flavour that keeps people coming back.
