In the late 19th century, Camberwell, Herne Hill, Peckham, and East Dulwich were mostly middle-class residential areas with a few pockets of working-class neighborhoods. The area had experienced significant growth due to the expansion of London, with many new houses and shops built to accommodate the growing population. The residents of these neighborhoods were predominantly white-collar workers, shopkeepers, and skilled laborers.

Camberwell was home to several notable landmarks, including the Camberwell Workhouse, which provided housing and medical care to the poor and destitute. Herne Hill was known for its large houses and green spaces, such as Brockwell Park, which featured a popular lido. Peckham and East Dulwich were bustling commercial centers, with a mix of shops, businesses, and residential streets.

Denmark Hill was home to several hospitals, including the Camberwell Infirmary and the Royal Hospital for Children, while Champion Hill was the location of the Champion Hill estate, which included a large mansion and extensive gardens. Peckham Rye was a popular public park, with tennis courts, a pond, and a playground.
