"In the church of St Nicholas, Deptford lies the unmarked grave of playwright Christopher Marlowe, who was stabbed to death in a tavern at the age of 29."

New Cross is as arty and cultural as Shoreditch and Soho, but with a strong South London identity...

Chris Venter

There's such a buzz around Goldsmiths University..12 minutes to Charing Cross, easy road connections to Essex and property that provides excellent value...

Hop on a train from New Cross Gate Station direct to Shoreditch and stations close to the City and Canary Wharf.

What locals say about Deptford

  1. I love Deptford because it is near to Greenwich and not far from Surrey Quays, and affordable unlike the 2 places mentioned.

  2. It feels safe, people have lived here for years so it's a nice community! With local businesses and nice spots to walk to, with great green areas.
