Discover Lewisham

The Borough of Lewisham in south-east London sits between Southwark and Greenwich, stretching from the River Thames in the north to the border with Bromley in the south.

The north of the borough benefits from a zone 2 location with excellent commuter links and lively town centres, while further south there is a quieter, more suburban feel. Throughout it is home to diverse communities and a rich sense of culture and history. This is evident on its high streets, shops and restaurants, and huge variety of community and cultural venues and events.

Without stepping out of the borough, you can visit the renowned Horniman Museum; the Broadway Theatre in Catford; a number of popular local cinemas such as Deptford Cinema, the Thinking Cinema, the Vortex Cinema Club, and Curzon Goldsmiths; plus art galleries and exhibitions, not least at the Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art and a branch of the world-famous White Cube gallery just up the road from our Creekside development.

There is plenty of green space, from the panoramic views of Hilly Fields and the six-mile Waterlink Way along the river Ravensbourne to the 250-acre Beckenham Place Park, complete with a swimming pond – plus of course easy access to Blackheath and Greenwich Park.
