In 1888, Hatcham, New Peckham, Deptford, and Lewisham were neighborhoods located in the southeast of London. Hatcham was a small area located in the New Cross district, and New Peckham was an emerging neighborhood located in the north of Hatcham. Deptford was a more established area that had a long history of shipbuilding, and Lewisham was a residential area with some industry.

The New Cross Road was a significant thoroughfare running through these neighborhoods, connecting them to other parts of London. The London Brighton & South Coast Railway had a station and workshops in New Cross, which provided employment opportunities for the local population.

Nunhead Station and Cemetery were located in Nunhead, a neighborhood adjacent to New Peckham. The cemetery was a popular place for burials and was known for its beautiful architecture and landscaping.

Deptford Broadway was a bustling commercial hub with shops and markets, while Deptford New Town was a residential area with terraced houses and apartments. Lewisham Road was another important street in the area, connecting Lewisham to other parts of London.

Lewisham Junction Station provided access to the railway system, and the Deptford Cemetery was a place of burial for the local population. These neighborhoods were home to a mix of working-class and middle-class people, with some areas having a higher concentration of industry and poverty.
