Deptford Map

Discover the character of one of South East London’s most distinctive neighbourhoods with this hand-drawn illustrated map of Deptford, created by London illustrator Jitesh Patel.

Every illustration begins as a pen drawing before being carefully finished digitally in my signature style. Inspired by London’s architecture, streets and neighbourhoods, this detailed map brings together the landmarks, independent venues and local places that give Deptford its unique identity.

The map features familiar Deptford locations including Deptford Yard, The Albany Theatre, The Bird’s Nest and The Royal Albert, illustrated alongside the surrounding street grid, London street signs and distinctive transport iconography. Together, these details capture the area’s mix of architecture, culture, music and independent spirit.

Whether you live in Deptford, grew up nearby, studied or worked in the area, or simply have fond memories of exploring this part of South East London, this illustrated map is a lasting reminder of a neighbourhood full of character.

A thoughtful gift for Deptford locals, South East Londoners, map lovers and anyone with a personal connection to the area.
