Robert Waller wrote

Lewisham East is unchanged from the seat that Labour won back from the Conservatives in the 1992 general election. This is a quite mixed inner London constituency. There are some solid Labour wards, and also areas of Conservative strength, for instance, towards Blackheath. Assuming that Labour at least improve on their 1992 results, Lewisham East will remain in the hands of MP Bridget Prentice.
