New Cross London Map

About New Cross

A keen observer might find a certain enduring spirit in New Cross, a place where the hum of the city meets the more settled pace of suburban life. It lies 5.6 km south-east of City of London (from City of London: bearing 139°T, OS grid TQ 362 770). The broad avenues, often lined with the sturdy brickwork of Victorian terraces, possess a quiet dignity, and in the late afternoon sun, the pale facades can catch a surprisingly warm glow. Historically, New Cross has been a thoroughfare, a place of passage and commerce rather than a destination in itself, and this has lent it a practical, unpretentious air. The presence of Goldsmiths, University of London, injects a vibrant, youthful energy into the neighbourhood, a constant, subtle current beneath the surface of everyday routines. One can still detect the echoes of its industrial past in the enduring architecture, the solid, dependable buildings that have weathered the decades. New Cross, in its own way, offers a compelling glimpse into the layered experience of London life.
