Places to see in ( Bexleyheath - UK )

Bexleyheath is a town in south east London, England, within the London Borough of Bexley. Bexleyheath is located 12 miles east-southeast of Charing Cross, and identified in the London Plan as one of 35 major centres in Greater London.

Until the early 19th century, Bexley Heath comprised an area of scrub-land with few buildings, although Bexley Heath windmill stood at the corner of what is today Erith Road and Mayplace Road. The heath bordered Watling Street. In 1766 Sir John Boyd had Danson House built in parkland (now Danson Park between Bexleyheath and Welling). In 1814 the land to the north of Bexley that would become Bexleyheath became subject to an Enclosure Act.

Bexleyheath forms part of the historic county of Kent; and since 1965 with the creation of the Greater London Council under the London Government Act 1963 it has also formed part of the London Borough of Bexley. It is generally seen as being split into two parts by the old Roman road. The DA6 postcode area which is south Bexleyheath has a less homogeneous feel and features Danson House and the Red House. Adjacent to the park, Danson Road has an array of large houses, including a small number of Modernist buildings.

Bexleyheath has drawn a lot of custom to match the expansion in retail space from residents of towns in the borough, particularly from Erith and Thamesmead which have expanded in size with development along the River Thames. Custom is also drawn from Plumstead and Woolwich (in the neighbouring borough of Greenwich).

Bexleyheath has leisure facilities including the Edward Alderton Theatre, Cineworld cinema, hotel, reference library, five-a-side football centre, bingo hall and ten-pin bowling alley (Ten Pin). Bexleyheath and Belvedere Hockey Club are based in Welling, but play some home matches at Erith School.

The town is served by Bexleyheath railway station, situated a couple of hundred metres to the north of the Broadway on Station Road. The station is on the Bexleyheath Line, the middle of three lines connecting London and Dartford. Rail services connect the station to London Victoria via Peckham Rye, London Charing Cross, London Cannon Street, Barnehurst, Gravesend and Dartford. Bexleyheath is an important hub for Transport for London bus services. There are services connecting it with Bromley, Crayford, Dartford, Eltham, Erith, Lewisham, North Greenwich, Orpington, Sidcup, Thamesmead, Welling and Woolwich.
