About New Cross

Known for

Goldsmiths University (alma mater of Damien Hirst, Bridget Riley, Antony Gormley), the Amersham Arms (legendary music venue), the New Cross pub scene, and one of London's most creatively significant neighbourhoods

A little history

New Cross has been home to Goldsmiths, University of London since 1891 — the college that produced the Young British Artists (Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Tracey Emin) and established British art's most significant moment. The neighbourhood has been a hub for artists, musicians and creatives for decades.

Local tip

Goldsmiths itself is worth understanding — the YBA generation changed British art. The Amersham Arms for live music. New Cross Road for diverse independent food. The area is rapidly gentrifying but retains creative character.
