New Cross Inn
The New Cross Inn is a music venue and pub located at 323 New Cross Road, in the New Cross area of the London Borough of Lewisham, in south-east London.
History
A pub with that name has existed in that area since at least the late 1700s, though the current building is estimated to be from the late 1800s. Dickens's Dictionary of the Thames from 1880 refers to an angling society based there. It was briefly called Bar Alchemy in the 2000s before reverting.
In the late 2000s, around the time of new rave's popularity in the music press and the Angular Recording Corporation bringing attention to the area, it first became known as an alternative music venue. By the 2010s it had become more known for punk rock and ska punk.
