Deptford, London

Deptford Market on the high street is one of London's most photogenic and least photographed markets. Raw, functional, cheap. Less self-conscious than nearby Peckham.

Best time: market days - Wednesday, Friday, Saturday.

Look for: the market traders. The characters on the high street. The contrast between the gentrification creeping in and the market that's been there for decades.

Camera Settings

Any.

The Assignment

Market day only. Photograph the market itself, not the coffee shops around it.
