Maggies Cafe
Below platform 4 of Lewisham train station, is a charming Irish café, extremely popular with the locals, which can make it hard to get a table come lunch-time. A mixed clientèle of City commuters and construction workers frequent this institution. They serve an all-day 'Make-your-own' fry-up for £6, where you can order what and as much as you like off a set-menu. Besides the traditional 'heart attack on the plate', they do pies, pastas, steaks and salads, as well as curiously good curries, owing to the fact that the eponymous Maggy being married to a Bangladesh chef. Good banter is delivered with free refills of tea and coffee. Make you sure you ask for the Specials and also try the infamous Irish Musturd.

Walk the Thames Path
Southwark and Lewisham host a large portion of the London section of the 184-mile-long Thames Path, organised by National Trails. The route between London Bridge and Deptford Creek largely follows the river (with occasional excursions inland), passing Tower Bridge, the Brunel Museum at Rotherhithe and Greenland Dock. Just north of Deptford, it cuts inland around the Convoys Wharf site before resuming its riverside route towards Greenwich. There are shops, bars, restaurants, etc. around Tower Bridge, then occasional pubs along the way, including Deptford's Dog & Bell. Consider letting the train take the strain: catch the train from Deptford station to London Bridge (10-minute journey) then follow the riverside path back to Deptford.

Tsar Peter the Great Monument
Tsar Peter the Great Monument, which is located at the waterfront adjacent to Deptford Creek and paid for by the Russian government to commemorate the cultural exchange between two great seafaring nations (it could be argued that Deptford Docks inspired the birth of the Russian navy). The writer and gardener, John Evelyn (1620–1706) who lived at Sayes Court, (now run-down and neglected) hosted the young, rowdy Peter the I (1672–1725) as a guest for about three months in 1698; during his naval apprenticeship on his great tour of Western Europe. Sir Francis Drake was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I aboard the Golden Hind in Deptford Docks too. Unfortunately the statue of Evelyn who stood next to Peter was damaged during an attempted burglary in 2022 and is still covered by a wooden box.
