It functions primarily as a commuter suburb, with good transport links via local bus routes to nearby rail stations for access into central London. The local shopping needs are served by a modest parade of shops along Long Lane.

The area is bordered by the arterial A207 road to the south and features several pockets of green space, including small recreational grounds and the playing fields of Bexley Grammar School.
