New Cross, where the Tube once ran
East London
Where the name comes from
Named after the district of New Cross, which is believed to take its name from a coaching house originally called the Golden Cross. The South Eastern Railway opened the station in 1850 as New Cross & Naval School and shortened the name to New Cross in 1854.
Worth knowing: In 1844 a fire at the workshops beside the neighbouring London and Croydon Railway station (today's New Cross Gate) was witnessed by Louis Philippe I, King of France.
