Transport Links in Deptford

One of the practical advantages of Deptford as a business location is its transport connectivity. For businesses that rely on staff commuting, customer visits, or regular deliveries, the area holds up well.

Rail and Overground

  • Deptford station — National Rail services to London Bridge in approximately 5 minutes and to the City and Cannon Street
  • New Cross station — London Overground connections to Clapham Junction, Shoreditch High Street, and Dalston
  • Surrey Quays station — London Overground to Canada Water and connections to the Jubilee Line

Road access

  • The A2 (Old Kent Road / New Cross Road) provides direct access toward central London and the M2/M25 corridor
  • The A200 connects Deptford to Greenwich and the Thames riverside
  • The A202 (Queens Road) links toward Peckham and Camberwell
  • The Rotherhithe Tunnel and Blackwall Tunnel provide cross-river access for businesses with north London or Essex connections

Cycling and local access

Deptford is well served by TfL cycle routes, with Santander Cycle hire docking stations nearby. For businesses whose staff or customers arrive by bike, that's a practical advantage in a part of London where cycling is increasingly common.
For logistics-focused businesses, the proximity to the Port of London, Thames riverside routes, and the wider south-east London road network makes Deptford a commercially sensible location.
