New Cross is a quirky cultural place. There is a range of interesting things to do in this distinctive patch of south east London. Here's five...
Alternative Afternoon Tea
There's a whole host of unusual coffee shops and cafes. Suitably named Birdie Num Nums provides an eccentric hangout for a hot drink or a cocktail.
Enjoy the view
Telegraph Hill provides a rare glimpse of the south London cityscape with picnic benches and grass verges. There is also a free tennis court on the hill if you're not too distracted by the view.
Rock out
The New Cross Inn is a vibrant live music venue with gigs on six nights a week. All genres are included, from heavy metal clashes to chilled-out Jazz sessions every Sunday afternoon.
Fancy Fish?
Maddy's Fish Bar offers 100 per cent fresh locally-sourced fish and chips with all the trimmings. Fresh beer on tap helps you wash it all down.
Grab your 5-a-day
The Allotment is an independent fresh fruit and veg shop. It has all the healthiness you need and it is all top of the range produce.
