Nathan Persad
I heard about Nathan Persad through the great Modculture - they like him, not surprizing as his sound is very much 1960s beat group (The Hollies, Merseybeats etc.) with a South East London twist. Lyrics on his website include 'I love Deptford' and 'Ivydale' - the latter presumably a hymn to Ivydale Road in Nunhead with the line 'If you're not really sure, Just catch the 484.'
