The start of 2012 saw the Deptford Lounge open its doors to the public and students - a new community hub designed by Pollard Thomas Edwards, which includes a school building, a library, community learning facilities, council services, work studios and affordable housing, all in a single venue. The Lounge is the centrepiece of a five-year programme led by Lewisham Council which will transform Deptford town centre. Here we revisit the project 3 years on.
