The Ever-changing Job Centre
Our future is occupied by a collective of high-end shops.
Deptford is the newest developed destination.
The lounging upper community needs an after-work venue
serving vintage now and contemporary furnishings
to keep the bric-a-brac on its toes and looking for employment.
Bought with private agency the Job Centre's quirky charm
is in its Job Boards and unique music.
Hear the market turntables throw the local spirits away.
