The gem of New Cross

About me I am currently living in Haggerston in East London, working in photography.

""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.

Lamb's Conduit Street

Bloomsbury's hidden gem

Quiet yet somehow buzzing, classy yet unpretentious, central yet hidden. What impresses me most is the concentration of great spots in such a small area.
