Renting in Deptford

What's it like to live in Deptford?

Deptford is one of south-east London's most exciting areas. The High Street market is a proper old-school London market — loud, cheap, and full of character. The DLR connects to Canary Wharf and Greenwich, while National Rail reaches London Bridge. Deptford's creative scene has grown enormously, with art studios, galleries, and music venues. The riverside area is being developed with modern apartments. It retains a grittier edge than nearby Greenwich, which keeps rents lower and the atmosphere more interesting. Excellent value for Zone 2.
