"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...

What locals say about SE8

  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.
