St Paul's Church (1730)is the finest example of English Baroque. Every admiral from Henry VIII to Victoria will have worshipped at St Nicholas Church. Food from all over the world in the shops etc. Anybody who appreciates a decent pint should make their way to the Dog and Bell in Prince Street.

As a Deptford resident, what’s your take? Would you advise (certain types of) overseas visitors to swing by your way?

I, and other locals, read the NYT piece on the day, two or three local bloggers mentioned it and after a couple of weeks one of the local papers, <i>The Newsshopper</i> picked it up. The nationals only picked it up from the Newsshopper and not the NYT. Vicky
