Falconwood

Falconwood lies in the London Borough of Bexley in south‑east London. The area is largely residential and grew up around the arrival of the railway in the 1930s. Housing is mostly semi‑detached and terraced, arranged on a grid of streets with small front gardens. Shops, takeaways and services cluster close to Falconwood railway station, which is on the Southeastern line with direct trains to central London and Dartford. The station sits in a cutting and its footbridge provides a frequent pedestrian route across the railway.

Local green space takes the form of pocket parks, allotments and tree‑lined verges that link to short walking routes. Community facilities include a few small social clubs, churches and a neighbourhood parade of shops that hosts the area's post office and pharmacy. Bus routes run along the main roads and provide connections to other parts of the borough. For commuters the combination of local shops, rail links and short walks to open space shapes daily life in Falconwood.
