BUILDING work has begun on a community centre which will provide activities for 600 young people every week.
The Moonshot Centre, Fordham Park, Deptford, will have facilities including IT rooms, dance studio, cafe and creche.
It will provide a base for groups, including the Playhouse Nursery and Irie Dance Theatre.
The new centre, due to open in the autumn, is being funded by £2.6m from Lewisham Council and £500,000 from SureStart, the Government's childcare initiative.
Lewisham Mayor Steve Bullock says he expects the centre to provide an "excellent community resource".
