New Cross Gate

New Cross Gate is one of the most vibrant and creative parts of south London, with a strong student presence from Goldsmiths university just down the road in New Cross proper. The Overground station is a major asset, connecting Zone 2 residents quickly to the Victoria line and the wider Overground network, and the area around the station has a brilliant mix of Caribbean takeaways, independent record shops, trendy cafes and pubs that host live music. The property scene is a mix of Victorian terraces and newer developments, and the area attracts young people who want a social scene without venturing into central London.
