New Cross Learning (formerly known as the New Cross People’s Library) is a community-run space offering a library service and a bookshop as well as a wide range of learning activities, supported by registered charity Bold Vision. Among our major donors is the New Cross Gate Trust. NXL is wholly volunteer-run.

What do we do?

New Cross Learning provides free computer/internet use (with tech support on weekends), Wifi, and a warm bank during the winter months. NXL has desk spaces to work, and we also run learning activities and workshops, including writing and knitting workshops. We also run a lending library of over 5,000 books (supported by Lewisham Council).

The library is a venue available to numerous community groups including Knitting Club, Code Club, Baby Bounce and much more
