The Council views Deptford and New Cross as one of the key opportunity areas for regeneration within the borough. These areas are rich in cultural history and are rapidly gaining a name for themselves as a hub for music, arts and culture.
In March 2009, the New York Times famously urged American tourists to check out the area for themselves, as "with the unpolished location comes that most heady of urban ingredients: an edge". Similarly, The Times in the past has reported that "Deptford is... becoming the cultural hub of southeast London" while This is London was heard to ask, "Is New Cross the new Camden?"
