About

New Cross South sits within the London Borough of Lewisham, around Goldsmiths, University of London and the junctions of New Cross Road and Queens Road. The area combines terraces and low-rise flats with small commercial streets; local shops, cafés and bakeries line the main roads and smaller lanes. Two stations, New Cross and New Cross Gate, offer rail and Overground links into central and east London, which shapes commuting patterns and daytime activity. Community centres and church halls host classes and meetings used by long-term residents and students.

Industrial traces remain in yard spaces and railway infrastructure. The brick railway arches along parts of Queens Road and nearby streets house music venues, rehearsal rooms and small workshops; the Amersham Arms sits under the arches and programs gigs and community events. Public realm projects and pocket parks have reused former industrial plots for allotments and play space. Street markets and pop-up stalls appear periodically, and Goldsmiths' public lectures and exhibitions offer regular events open to local people.
