Like many other places in South London, in Camberwell, wealthy and poor areas stand right next to each other and the differences are huge. Walking across one street may take you into completely different neighbourhood. There are some nice parks, pubs and cafés in this area. It's still going through its gentrification, so it may be a bit rough around the edges, but that only makes the place more interesting. I'm guessing this place will see some more interesting places very shortly.
