Falconwood & Welling

Falconwood & Welling is a residential ward in the London Borough of Bexley, positioned on the border with the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The area is primarily characterised by suburban housing, with a mix of interwar semis-detached homes and later developments. Its main commercial hub is Welling High Street, which runs from the railway station and offers a range of everyday shops and services. The ward is well-connected by rail, with Falconwood and Welling stations providing services into central London.

The landscape is gently undulating, with several small parks and green spaces like Eastcote Gardens providing local recreation. A notable local landmark is the former Bexleyheath Railway line cutting, which creates a distinct green corridor through parts of the area. Housing density increases closer to the main roads, while quieter streets feature larger properties with generous gardens. The overall atmosphere is settled and community-focused, with local schools and churches forming central pillars.
