About

Longlands & Halfway is a residential district situated in the northern part of the London Borough of Bexley. The area is characterised by its quiet streets of predominantly semi-detached and terraced housing, developed largely in the interwar period. 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. A notable local landmark is the distinctive, circular Halfway House pub, which sits at a major junction. The overall atmosphere is settled and community-focused, with a mix of long-term residents and younger families attracted by the relative affordability compared to inner London boroughs.
