Ben Pimlott Building: the best view in New Cross?
The best views in New Cross, with the possible exception of those from Telegraph Hill Park, are to be had from the Ben Pimlott building at Goldsmiths, opened in 2005.
The outside area by the famous 'scribble sculpture' is the best viewing point, with the London landscape framed by bits of curly wurly metal - here's the top of Deptford Town Hall:

We need even more architecture like this in New Cross. Let's see what they do to the buildings they own on New Cross Road over the next couple of years. Here's hoping for a public art gallery/Cafe Crema establishment.
