Hostel facilities, Indian food availability, campus safety, and accommodation options at Goldsmiths, University of London.

Hostel arrangements and costs vary by room type and academic year. Confirm current availability and fees directly with Goldsmiths, University of London before making any payments.
Accommodation overview
Goldsmiths manages around 1,100 hall places within walking distance of the New Cross campus, priced per hall for 2026/27: for example Raymont Hall from GBP 237.00 to GBP 404.50/week and Surrey House from GBP 191.00 to GBP 404.00/week depending on room type (ensuite vs shared bathroom, standard vs larger rooms), confirmed on each hall's official page. A GBP 150 pre-payment (GBP 200 security deposit for Goldsmiths Student Village) is due on accepting a place. Students can also use University of London Housing Services for private accommodation across London.
Food & daily living
Goldsmiths halls are self-catered with shared or private kitchens. New Cross and neighbouring Deptford and Peckham have an established, comparatively affordable food scene including Caribbean, West African, South Asian and Vietnamese grocers and restaurants reflecting south-east London's diversity, generally cheaper than central London. New Cross and New Cross Gate stations give quick access to Lewisham and Greenwich for a wider supermarket and restaurant range.
Campus & lifestyle
The campus is centred on the Grade II-listed Richard Hoggart Building (opened 1844, formerly the Royal Naval School) in New Cross. The Ben Pimlott Building houses Art studios, Goldsmiths Digital Studios and the Centre for Cognition, Computation and Culture; Goldsmiths CCA is a free public contemporary-art gallery on campus. Facilities include specialist Art, Design, Music and Computing studios, a main Library, and the Goldsmiths Students' Union (GSU).
Safety & student support
Goldsmiths' Campus Support Officers and Security team are the first points of contact for safety concerns in halls and on campus, alongside a Student Wellbeing service. New Cross is a busy, well-connected inner-London area; as in any major city, standard late-night precautions are advised around New Cross and New Cross Gate stations. The University of London federation shares further intercollegiate welfare resources across central London. The International Student Advice team supports visa applications (Goldsmiths is a licensed Student visa sponsor), ATAS checks for relevant research programmes, and Welcome Week orientation. The Goldsmiths Students' Union (GSU) runs academic societies and welfare campaigns, and the university's Disability and Wellbeing Service and Careers Service support enrolment, study and post-arrival logistics including registration and banking.
