How can I explain this: when I visit somewhere like Maidstone it feels
very similar; when I visit somewhere like Lewisham, New Cross, or
Deptford, they seem so entirely different.

And yet Deptford, Lewisham and most of New Cross were all in Kent for
centuries, of course.

Yes, there was, as I recall, a London Road, Lewisham, home of the
Bastable family in E Nesbit's novel, "The Treasure Seekers".
