About

Northumberland Heath sits in the London Borough of Bexley, between Belvedere and Bexleyheath. The area is mainly residential, with rows of Victorian terraces, interwar semis and post-war council housing. A short commercial strip provides everyday shops, small cafes, pubs and takeaways, while community facilities include a primary school and a community centre. Northumberland Heath railway station gives direct services into central London and is used by many commuters, its footbridge a local landmark for journeys across the tracks.

Parks, allotments and sports pitches are scattered through the neighbourhood, used by local clubs and schools. Street-level businesses and social clubs reflect long-standing local ties rather than tourist trade. Housing renewal and small development projects have altered parts of the estate in recent years, but many family households and long-term residents remain. Day-to-day life in Northumberland Heath centres on the station, the parade of shops and several community-run activities that meet in halls and on the recreation grounds.
