The character of Deptford
Deptford High Street is dense with market stalls and pedestrians for most of the day, and waiting on it is not realistic. Deptford Church Street and the streets around Deptford Bridge station offer calmer alternatives. Evelyn Street, part of the A200 toward the river, carries steady traffic and connects out toward Rotherhithe and the Surrey Quays area.
- Deptford High Street is market-only during trading hours; a car cannot wait there.
- Deptford Church Street and the area near the DLR station suit a standing wait.
- Evelyn Street is the usual route toward the river and Rotherhithe.
- Early collections are common given the market’s own early trading hours.
