About

Crayford ward sits in the northwestern corner of the London Borough of Bexley, bordering the River Darent and the borough of Dartford. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing estates and older terraced homes. Its landscape is marked by the presence of the A2 road, a major transport artery that cuts through the locality, shaping its connectivity and character. The ward includes the suburban neighbourhoods surrounding Crayford town centre.

The local high street offers essential retail and services, with a focus on practical daily needs. A notable local feature is the Crayford Stadium, a longstanding greyhound racing and speedway venue that has been a fixture for decades. Open green space is provided by the grounds of the former Howbury Manor estate, now a public park. The area maintains a distinct identity separate from the larger Bexleyheath administrative centre to the south.
