Your Deptford:  Deptford is an area on the south bank of the River Thames in south-east London. The area is named after a ford of the River Ravensbourne, and from the mid 16th century to the late 19th was home to Deptford Dockyard, the first of the Royal Dockyards. Deptford and the docks are associated with the knighting of Sir Francis Drake by Queen Elizabeth I aboard the Golden Hind and the mysterious murder of Christopher Marlowe in a house along Deptford Strand. Though Deptford began as two small communities, one at the ford, and the other a fishing village on The Thames, Deptford's history and population has been mainly associated with the docks established by Henry VIII. The Metropolitan Borough of Deptford was formed in 1900 and became part of the London Borough of Lewisham created in 1965. In 1900, the parish of St Nicholas Deptford, in the north, around the Royal Dockyard became a part of the Metropolitan Borough of Greenwich, but the dockyard itself was transferred to Lewisham in a 1994 boundary adjustment. Deptford has the Albany Theatre, which has a lively community arts programme; while the Laban Dance Centre, opened in February 2003 and designed by Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, is an award-winning building next to Deptford Creek.
