About

New Eltham sits in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, east of Eltham and west of Sidcup. The centre clusters around New Eltham railway station, with a parade of shops, cafés and local services lining the high street. Housing is mainly Victorian and interwar terraces and 1930s semi‑detached homes. Local primary and secondary schools serve the neighbourhood, and community halls and sports clubs are active. Regular rail services make central London commutable while retaining the scale of a suburban town.

Green space is never far: small parks, playing fields and allotments spread through the area, and Oxleas Wood with its ancient oak and beech is a short walk to the south‑east, with footpaths that feed into longer recreational routes. The street pattern includes a mix of residential crescents and avenues that open onto green edges, and several local shops trade from former railway arches near the station. Day‑to‑day life revolves around school runs, local clubs and the station link to the wider city.
