hanging rail and shelves providing plenty of storage space. In the two and three bed properties, the additional bedrooms have enough space for a double bed, as well as wardrobes. Private decked balconies and terraces
will offer views of the London skyline, along with the communally landscaped courtyards and gardens. All the properties at Deptford Foundry
are designed and built to the highest standards of energy efficiency, with fixtures and fittings being selected to ensure maximum efficiency in every home, which will cut living costs for homebuyers. White goods will be included as standard in every property, all selected with efficiency in mind.
A SENSE OF COMMUNITY HAS BEEN PRESENT THROUGHOUT THE BUILD, WITH ANTHOLOGY WORKING HARD TO INCLUDE LOCAL BUSINESSES AND SCHOOLS

COMMUNITY A sense of community has been present throughout the build, with Anthology working hard to include local businesses and schools from the surrounding area. Deptford is one of London’s most
diverse regions, and is renowned for its commitment to, and community involvement with, the arts. Each year, the area hosts the annual Deptford X contemporary arts festival, which has been running since 1998. In keeping with this, arts organisation
Second Floor Studio & Arts will occupy the development’s commercial space, offering 75 new purpose-built affordable studio spaces for artists in south east
London. The 30,000 ft2
of affordable
workspace on the ground and first floor at Deptford Foundry will provide creative employment space for up to 160 people. The studio provision will be used by a wide range of artists, craft makers and designers, whose practices include ceramics, fine art, painting, leatherwork, sculpture and textiles. To help integrate the community,
children from local school Childeric Primary were recently invited to the site to assemble and bury the first ever Anthology time capsule, a small piece of Deptford history which will remain part of the development forever. Along with local park user group,
Deptford Folk, and nearby school Sir Francis Drake, Anthology London is working to design a children’s play area that will be available at the development. “We look forward to creating this space
that will have been designed by local children for their own use, as well as Deptford Foundry residents,” said Ben Allen from Anthology London.
A STEP APART In addition to a strong focus on community, Anthology London hopes to set itself apart from the competition in other ways, priding itself on what Allen calls the developer’s “unique approach to development.” The business’ mantra is ‘Built From
London.’ Allen believes the company lives up to the mantra, with it being “true
