Deptford is full of warehouses, industrial areas, council flats, railways on arched bridges and some modern buildings. It certainly is not as beautiful as the neighbouring Greenwich. There is some interesting architecture here though. Deptford High Street shows clear signs of gentrification with its cafes, pubs and ethnic restaurants. It's still mainly filled with Poundland stores, ethnic shops and diners, but there are some really cool places as well. Deptford is one of the places to look out for if you're looking for what's cool right now.
