About

Belvedere sits on the south bank of the Thames in the London Borough of Bexley. The town centre is clustered around the railway — Belvedere station on the North Kent Line links the area with central London and towns east along the river — and a strip of riverside industry and depots runs along the foreshore, including the Belvedere oil terminal and associated wharves. Local shopping parades, schools and parish churches are arranged along the main roads that climb away from the river, and pockets of post‑war housing and late‑Victorian terraces mark the built pattern.

Lessness Heath lies immediately south of Belvedere and retains traces of its past as common land, with a recreation ground, allotments and a patchwork of open space that appears on older maps. Community facilities include sports fields and small local halls rather than large civic centres; bus routes link the two areas to neighbouring Bexleyheath and Dartford. The combination of the North Kent rail link, the riverside industrial frontage and the surviving commonland gives the neighbourhood a clear local identity within Bexley.
