About

New Cross & Deptford South sits on a sweep of south-east London where New Cross Road meets Deptford High Street. Goldsmiths, University of London occupies a large campus on New Cross Road and stages an annual student degree show each summer. New Cross and New Cross Gate stations connect to London Overground and Southeastern services, while Deptford station links the high street to central London. Deptford Creek runs along the area's eastern edge; its tidal channel and quays recall a long history of shipbuilding and fitting-out at the former Royal Dockyard. The high street contains markets, independent shops and the Albany arts centre on Douglas Way, which hosts music and theatre programming.

Local life mixes residential streets with workshops, studios and riverside sites undergoing change. Street markets operate several days each week along Deptford High Street and small galleries and rehearsal spaces cluster near the university. Convoys Wharf and the creekside warehouses have shaped recent planning discussions and local walks often follow the creek toward the river. Community groups, artist projects and the university contribute to a calendar of public events across the ward.
