Londoners, so is Deptford now hip? 16:27 - Jan 3 with 1435 views | Joey_Joe_Joe_Junior | I was back in town over the festive season and had a few drinks on Deptford high street on my way back east. Craft cocktails in an old job centre in Deptford? Shoreditch and Dalston really is old news now eh. New Cross, Camberwell, are these places the new breed for art students and avocado on toast? Just curious. | | | | |

In which case it won't be a stranger to art students knocking about. Anyway, art students are the first wave of gentrification. It really kicks off when soulless investment bankers move into the area to bask in the reflected credibility. | |

Oi! That's my alma mater you're talking about. So many arty beauties who wouldn't give the likes of us a second look *sigh* But yes, all of that area is now far more gentrified even from when I graduated there some ten years ago. Some of it's a crying shame as some brilliant local pubs have been taken over by gastropubs charging £8 for some hoppy sh1te and welcoming in the pushchair brigade. Brilliant food round there, mind. Much of it still cheap and 'authentic'. | |

My cousin lived in Deptford back in the early 80’s and every time I visited her I thought I would get killed. I once got physically assaulted by a bin man doing his rounds early one morning. | |

I can imagine that place was tasty in the 80s. | | | |

Londoners, so is Deptford now hip? on 19:28 - Jan 3 with 1225 views | Boy_Railey | The missus has been telling me it’s up-and-coming, since I met her. She’s been about the place since the late nineties. I’ve only known it for the last five years, since Poundland and Asda moved into the high street. We love it. For now, locals and the incoming gentry rub along and there’s a pretty open welcome, be it in the cash-only bars and pubs, vegan bars and cafes, the pie and mash shops or the bars serving ales from the local microbreweries. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

A bit of edge, central, transport links, not sure why it's not getting there at a faster rate. | | | |
