Dubbed 'the new Shoreditch', Deptford is an up-and-coming place to be. Vibe’s Joe Jamieson found five interesting things to do in this arty, edgy cool corner of south east London.
No more. The Deptford Project Cafe's gone but not forgotten.
Grab a coffee
The original version of this story recommended visiting The Deptford Project Cafe. Don't. As a number of readers have pointed out, it's not there any more. But there are plenty of other places for a nice caffeine kick. Why not try Deli X?
Get on your dancing shoes
Laban is the largest purpose-built contemporary dance centre in the world. This spaceous building is a stunning work of architecture, and is home to experimental dance shows and short courses for the public to engage with the best of dance and music.
Go bargain hunting and bartering
Deptford Market is an authentic buzzing place overflowing with new and second-hand goods. It has everything from discount designer clothes to electronics, plants, and exotic foods.
Eat in style
Bored of eating in generic restaurants at ordinary tables? Try Big Red Pizzaria where you can eat amazing pizza in an unused double-decker bus!
Drink in style
Try Little Nan's Bar where ironic hipsters are always welcome. Cocktails in teacups and funky decor make this a great off-the-wall hangout.
