New Cross House London

The gem of New Cross

Claire from London

About me I am currently living in Haggerston in East London, working in photography. I have lived in lots of different parts of London so have had plenty of opportunities to seek out the local hot-spots from Hackney Wick to Elephant and Castle.

""New Cross House" London sets itself apart from the local bars and pubs as a more mature watering hole. This pub is just what you expect from a gastro pub."

Having lived my whole life in North London, I loved moving to the complete opposite side of town - New Cross. It gave me an excuse to finally find some South East London hot spots! With a largely art student crowd in the local bars and pubs due to the nearby Goldsmiths university, New Cross house sets itself apart as a more mature watering hole.

The pub was renovated about 3 years ago and is lovely inside with everything you expect from a gastro style pub. High ceilings, comfy booths and tasteful décor. There is even a tatty old piano in the corner for a good old-fashioned knees up! The garden out back has lots of seating and even a two floor barn style area to sit out in if the weather is nice enough. The pizzas served here are delicious! Being cooked in a huge wood stone oven means they're never too soggy or too crispy and there are some interesting toppings like the smoked pork belly to get your teeth into.

Naroon

Authentic Persian food

Everything I’ve tried in this restaurant is delicious and plentiful. I love the bread, the dips and I can guarantee that their saffron rice is to die for!

Barnsbury Wood

London’s smallest nature reserve

Barnsbury Wood is enjoyed by Londoners all year round, but it is at its most glorious in the summer months when the trees are drenched in golden sunlight.

The Hill Garden and Pergola

A tranquil oasis

The gardens and pergola are open to the public and are a great spot for a walk or a peaceful afternoon with a good book in hand while lying on the grass.

The Black Dog

Park pub perfection

Of all the reasons why you have to check out this idyllic boozer, perhaps the most important is that this is the home of the finest scotch egg in London.
