Goldsmith's, University of London
Just over a mile from Deptford is the prestigious Goldsmith’s, University of London which specialises in the arts, humanities and social sciences. The neighbouring Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art, with its recycled Victorian-era cast-iron water tanks, is as beautiful as the art held within.
