About

Barnehurst South is the southern section of the Barnehurst ward in the London Borough of Bexley. The area is largely residential, with a mix of inter-war and post-war housing laid out on a compact street grid. Local shops and services cluster close to Barnehurst railway station on the Bexleyheath Line, which gives regular rail connections into central London and acts as a clear landmark and movement corridor through the neighbourhood. Small schools, community centres and parish buildings are interwoven with terraces and semi‑detached homes, so day-to-day life is focused on short walks to shops, the station and a few civic facilities.

Green space and community sport are part of the local pattern: pocket parks, playing fields and allotment plots provide outdoor space within walking distance of most homes. Amateur football and cricket fixtures are regular weekend fixtures on the local pitches, and seasonal community events make use of halls and open spaces. Practical links by rail and road, the compact street layout and the local shopping parade around the station shape how residents use and move around Barnehurst South.
