Bexley

Bexley is a district in the London Borough of Bexley, in southeast London, centred on a compact High Street and served by Bexley railway station on the Dartford Loop Line. Local buses connect the district to neighbouring suburbs and to rail hubs. The layout keeps the old village core alongside later residential streets; shops, cafes and small offices cluster near the station and the High Street, while public green spaces and allotments lie a short walk away.

The area has a long history visible in its church and house plots. St. Mary’s on the High Street has medieval origins and its churchyard marks the older village core. Close by, Hall Place, a late 16th-century house with formal walled gardens, sits beside the river and is used for events and exhibitions. Conservation areas protect groups of older buildings and street patterns, so change tends to work around existing lanes and listed sites rather than replace them.
