About

East Wickham ward is situated in the London Borough of Bexley, positioned to the south of Welling and north of the A2 road. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of inter-war and post-war semi-detached and terraced housing. Its streets are arranged in a quiet, suburban layout, with local shopping parades providing essential amenities. The ward contains several green spaces, including the grounds of the former Danson House and East Wickham Open Spaces, which offer recreational areas for residents.

A notable local feature is the presence of the old East Wickham Farm moated site, a scheduled monument nestled within the open spaces. The area is served by multiple bus routes connecting to nearby Welling and Bexleyheath town centres, rather than having its own railway station. Housing estates like the Longland and Marlborough Park developments contribute to the ward's consistent suburban character, with community life focused around local schools and parks.
