About

Grove Park ward sits in the far southeast of the borough, bordering the London Borough of Bromley. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of interwar and post-war housing estates, alongside more modern developments and some detached homes. Its landscape is defined by the presence of the River Quaggy, which flows through the southern section, contributing to several green corridors and open spaces that provide a sense of separation from more densely built-up areas.

Transport links are anchored by the Grove Park railway station, which offers services into central London. The ward contains significant local amenities including the large Grove Park Leisure Centre and a major Sainsbury's supermarket. A notable local landmark is the distinctive former Grove Park Chapel, a prominent Gothic Revival building that has been converted into residential flats, standing as a reminder of the area's earlier architectural character.
