John Gray: One Tree Hill To Peckham Rye Common

John Gray, 2025, softcover, 62pages, 14.6 x 20.6 cm

The Commonplace series of zines details how, taken together, the commons provide the key to the landscape. This third zine in the series mixes history, ecology, psychogeography, architecture, poetry and memoir to explore a closely linked pair of open spaces, an ancient common and a wild nature reserve in the heart of suburban South London.

Written by landscape historian John Gray and featuring photographs by Woolwich-based photographer Sam Walton. The stunning cover is a cut-out from a single sheet of paper, made by Lewisham-based artist Tennessee Williams. The whole edition was Risograph-printed by the legends at Page Masters.
