Deptford sits a few minutes by train from London Bridge, right next to Greenwich. Contractors, hospital staff and people working in central London book it in the week, and weekends bring visitors for Greenwich, the market and the river. Whole-home short lets are capped at 90 nights a year in London, so we fill the rest of the year with longer stays.

When a home in Deptford, New Cross or Lewisham is damaged by a leak, fire or flood, the insurer pays for the family to stay nearby while it is repaired. Stays of 90 nights or more in a row sit outside the 90-night limit, and these stays peak in winter.

A long let pays one rent. A short let is booked by the night or the week, so it can take a work stay in the week and a leisure stay at the weekend, and price each night for the demand.
If your home would earn more as a long let, we will tell you.
What applies to a home in Deptford, and what we do about each one. Last checked September 2026.
In Greater London, a whole home can be let for up to 90 nights a year without planning permission. Stays of 90 nights or more in a row do not count towards it. We plan the calendar around the limit and fill the rest of the year with longer stays.
Lewisham Council has charged a 100% premium on second homes since 1 April 2025, and says this includes short lets such as Airbnbs, so the bill is doubled. In London a short let stays on council tax, because the 90-night rule only applies while council tax is paid on the home.
We found no Lewisham planning policy or Article 4 direction aimed at short lets beyond the London-wide 90-night rule. Lewisham’s Article 4 directions on small HMOs (shared houses) cover the whole borough: the south since March 2020 and the rest since January 2024. They do not cover short lets.
England's short-let register is due by March 2027 and the furnished holiday lettings tax regime ended in April 2025. Outside London, a home let for at least 70 nights a year (and available for 140) pays business rates instead of council tax. Read our guide to the rules
