The Knowhere Guide

The Local Music Scene in Deptford, Greater London*

Deptford, Greater London Record Shops and Venues

Record Shops

• Various dance music record shops along New Cross Road, Record fair in Greenwich, Record stalls along New Cross Road and in the markets. Use Your Loaf also sells records every second saturday 12-2
• Again a sore point. We haven't got that much in the way of a shop, but if its the latest and best that you're after then head for the stalls in the market in Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. You'll be sure to find something thats on the charts and if it hasn't yet charted ...it will.

Clubs (Dance Music) and Music Bars

• Live bar for me, not the average boozer in Deptford or on the New Cross Rd Stretch - it is indeed the Bank that turned into a bar and good job too, went there on a monday night to unwind and ease into the working week, lady DJ playing Latin jazz and groovy toons, half price cocktails too. Usual dance malarky on weds-sun they tell me.
• Paradise Bar a couple of nights a week, the fez, New Cross Inn
• Golf clubs? Ha ha ha. Normal dance music clubs Ha Ha Ha Ha. The closest we get to that is THE FEZ in New Cross...it's wicked (or so I hear). But as for in-house clubbing entertainment...we are sadly lacking.

Live Music Venues

• Paradise bar is RE-OPENED!!!! but sadly, not as a club anymore, and its renamed as Six String Bar, but will always be paradise bar in our hearts. More live bands friendly people
• The Gig (Amersham Arms)Nu X Rd, The Venue (tribute acts) Nu X Rd, Paradise Bar Nu X Rd, The Centurion Deptford Broadway, Albany Douglas Way, Goldsmiths Tavern Nu X Road
• None to speak of. But that's not as bad as it seems cos we're only a small town bordered by two more happening ones (Lewisham and New Cross). We make it a point to partake of their delights.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
