Watergate Street, Deptford Formerly known as King Street, there were so many King Streets in London, it needed a new name as postal workers were complaining. The new name was given as it had access to the River Thames (and because there were no other Watergate Streets). Many large houses were built in the street during the 17th and 18th centuries and lived in by those connected to the maritime trade. By the twentieth century the street had became run down and post-war, new housing was built.
