About Lewisham
- Goldsmiths, University of London in New Cross is one of the most influential art schools in the world, having produced an extraordinary number of prominent artists, musicians, and cultural figures. The Young British Artists movement of the 1990s, including Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, and Sarah Lucas, emerged from Goldsmiths, and the school has continued to produce leading figures in contemporary art, music, and design. The school's degree shows are among the most anticipated events in the London art calendar.
- The Horniman Museum in Forest Hill, founded by tea trader Frederick Horniman in 1901, is one of London's most eclectic and beloved museums, housing collections of natural history, musical instruments, and world cultures. The museum's aquarium is one of the oldest in London, and its gardens, which include a nature trail, a butterfly house, and a bandstand, are a popular destination for families. The museum is free to enter and is one of the most visited attractions in south-east London.
- Deptford has a long and important maritime history, having been the site of one of the Royal Navy's principal dockyards from the reign of Henry VIII until 1869. The dockyard was where Sir Francis Drake was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I in 1581 after his circumnavigation of the globe, and where Peter the Great of Russia worked as a shipwright in 1698 to learn the craft of shipbuilding. The area is now being regenerated as a creative and residential quarter, with the dockyard buildings being converted into arts spaces and housing.
