Deptford's office inventory spans from Fuel Tank's 334-1,084 sq ft private studios in a converted factory to The Albany's £3.50/month community memberships with day-desk access. You'll find self-contained units at City Business Centre's Evelyn Court (634-2,648 sq ft with parking), shipping container studios at The Artworks Creekside from £780/month, and even Cannon Wharf's floor-to-ceiling glazed offices for teams wanting that corporate-creative hybrid. The diversity here beats most London postcodes, with everything from £5 daily hot-desking at Deptford Lounge to 200-person managed floors.
Real pricing in Deptford starts at £75/month for The Club SE8's boutique coworking membership and scales to £3,270/month for Fuel Tank's larger studios. Workspace properties like Cannon Wharf run £1,020-£2,503 monthly for furnished offices, while The Albany offers dedicated desks at £210/month. City Business Centre quotes £22.50 per sq ft annually for self-contained units. Day rates begin at £5 for community members at Deptford Lounge, making this one of London's last genuinely affordable creative quarters where a 10-person office costs what a 3-person desk cluster would in Shoreditch.
Fuel Tank's Engine room hosts up to 8 people with access to Workspace's wider meeting network, while Blueprint for All at Stephen Lawrence Centre offers rooms overlooking Brookmill Park from £30/hour. The Albany provides subsidised meeting space for members across their Douglas Way complex, and Deptford Lounge has hybrid meeting pods from £10/hour. Cannon Wharf includes multiple bookable meeting rooms within its six-floor business centre. Most private office providers here include at least one meeting space, with The Artworks Creekside and City Business Centre tenants typically configuring their own boardrooms within their units.
Most Deptford workspaces sit within 7-10 minutes of Deptford Bridge DLR or Deptford rail station. Fuel Tank and The Artworks Creekside cluster around Deptford Creek, just 7-8 minutes from Deptford Bridge DLR. The Albany enjoys a 4-minute walk to New Cross station, while Blueprint for All sits 3-5 minutes from Deptford Bridge DLR. For those near Evelyn Street like City Business Centre and The Club SE8, Surrey Quays Overground lies 15-18 minutes away with strong bus connections filling the gaps. This dual DLR-rail coverage puts you 20 minutes from Bank or London Bridge.
Deptford's coworking scene centres on The Albany's Creative Communities programme with day passes from £5-£8.50 and unlimited monthly access at £145. The Club SE8 at Neptune Wharf offers a design-led members' lounge for £75/month including a screening room. Blueprint for All runs hot-desking and dedicated desk programmes in their light-filled Stephen Lawrence Centre, while Deptford Lounge provides civic coworking through the same Albany membership scheme. Even The Artworks Creekside offers day rates from £10 in their creative complex. These aren't your glass-box coworking chains but community-rooted spaces with actual character.
The combination of Fuel Tank's 63 industrial studios with their Gaff café and The Artworks' mixed creative complex has created a genuine creative ecosystem rather than marketed 'creativity'. Workspace reports their Deptford sites are 95% occupied by design, tech and media firms drawn to canalside locations at half Shoreditch prices. The Albany's community focus means your office neighbours might be arts organisations or social enterprises. Add Goldsmiths University nearby, Trinity Laban's creative energy, and you get organic creative density. One agency founder at Fuel Tank told us they moved from Bermondsey and halved their rent while doubling their space.
Workspace's Fuel Tank and Cannon Wharf offer monthly rolling contracts after initial terms, with offices from 257 sq ft available immediately. The Artworks Creekside negotiates flexible terms directly with tenants for their container studios and office units. City Business Centre explicitly advertises flexible leases on their 18 self-contained units. Even traditional spaces here understand the creative sector's need for agility. The Club SE8 operates pure month-to-month membership, while The Albany's private offices work on negotiable licenses aligned with their community mission.
Fuel Tank brings a full on-site café (Gaff), bike storage, showers, and staffed reception alongside their leafy atrium. Cannon Wharf includes floor-to-ceiling windows, reception services, showers and secure bike storage across six floors. City Business Centre provides that rarity in creative zones: a large gated car park with each unit getting kitchen and WC facilities. The Artworks Creekside has an artisan café-bar on site with 24/7 access to units. Even smaller operators like The Club SE8 include kitchenettes and screening rooms. These aren't stripped-back creative spaces but properly equipped working environments.
Deptford undercuts Greenwich's riverside offices by 30-40% while offering more creative infrastructure. Against Bermondsey, you're looking at half the price for twice the space, as Fuel Tank's £45-60 per sq ft compares to Bermondsey's £80-100. Peckham might match on price but lacks Deptford's transport connections with both DLR and rail. Shoreditch? A 10-person office there costs what a 30-person floor does at Cannon Wharf. The trade-off is prestige for practicality, but with Workspace, The Albany and creative anchors like The Artworks, you're getting legitimate creative credentials without the premium postcodes.
Deptford's sweet spot runs 5-30 person teams, with Fuel Tank's studios typically housing 6-30 desks and Cannon Wharf's offices fitting 5-27 people. Solo workers thrive in The Club SE8's intimate coworking or The Albany's community desks. Larger operations can take whole floors at City Business Centre (up to 2,648 sq ft) or managed suites at Fuel Tank for up to 200 people. The Artworks Creekside scales from two-person containers to 25-desk offices. This range means start-ups can grow within the same building, a massive advantage over areas dominated by either corporate towers or freelancer spaces.
