About

West Wickham sits in the far southeastern corner of the London Borough of Bromley, bordering the county of Kent.

Local shopping needs are served along the High Street, which runs from the historic parish church towards the railway station.

Transport links are provided by the railway line to London Bridge, reinforcing its commuter town character within the greater London landscape.
