Quiet is a hard thing to find in Deptford. Before most of us stir and rise from our beds, the trains have begun to ferry people into the city and the planes are zig-zagging relentlessly across our skies. Early morning offers something approaching stillness, as the birds salute the new day. Dog-walkers, joggers, and early risers all make their way silently across Deptford's green spaces, while the city hums to life once more.
