Across the Huangpu River rises the Pudong district’s futuristic skyline, including 632m Shanghai Tower and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, with distinctive pink spheres. Sprawling Yu Garden has traditional pavilions, towers and ponds.
In lively New Cross, residential streets fan out from busy New Cross Road, where students from Goldsmiths, University of London hang out in cosy cafes and global eateries serving falafel, jollof rice, and jerk chicken. Packed traditional pubs host live bands, plus comedy and open-mic nights. Green spaces include Telegraph Hill Park, which has tennis courts, as well as a formal garden and far-reaching city views.
Down-to-earth Vauxhall is known for its gay nightlife, with long-established bars and clubs along Kennington Lane and under the nearby railway arches.
