"At 201 Deptford High Street, Peter Hahn, a baker was caught with his invisible ink letter writing equipment after one of his spy letters was intercepted. This in turn lead the police to capture a German spy called Muller. British Intelligence continued supplying information through this route whilst invoicing the Germans for the pleasure."

Deptford quote

Divyesh Bhanderi

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

Chris Venter

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

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.
