Have your say on our Plan for Lewisham

Five years on from becoming a Borough of Sanctuary, Lewisham is celebrating the people, partnerships and community action that have helped make the borough a place of welcome and looking ahead to how residents, organisations, schools and businesses can help shape the next five years.

Goldsmiths University of London has confirmed it will not be going ahead with plans to move some of its courses from Deptford to Catford, when their existing lease ends next year. Instead, they plan to consolidate their estate onto their New Cross campus.

Fourteen of Lewisham’s top businesses were celebrated at the 2026 Mayor of Lewisham Business Awards at Catford’s iconic Broadway Theatre.
