Anerley North & Penge West

Anerley North and Penge West form a residential district in the London Borough of Bromley, situated between Crystal Palace and Beckenham. The area is characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with some post-war developments and converted flats. Local commerce centres around the high streets, offering a range of independent shops, supermarkets, and everyday services. Transport links are provided by Penge West railway station and numerous bus routes connecting to wider South London.

The geography is defined by the sloping terrain rising from the Penge area towards Crystal Palace Park. A notable local feature is the presence of the former Crystal Palace High Level railway station, with its surviving platforms now overlooking the park. Recreational space is provided by Alexandra Recreation Ground and the larger Cator Park. The area maintains a distinct identity separate from its more well-known neighbours, with a focus on local community life.
