Local area guide
Skip hire in Bexley
Bexley is a borough in south-east London, sitting on the southern side of the Thames between Greenwich and the Kent border, with a population of around 250,000. It takes its name from the old village of Bexley, recorded in a charter of 814 as Bixle, meaning the woodland clearing where box trees grow. The borough was formed in 1965 from the merger of Bexley, Erith, Crayford and Sidcup, and much of it remained Kentish countryside and market gardens until the interwar suburban expansion transformed it into the outer London suburb it is today.
The borough's most celebrated building is Red House at Bexleyheath, designed in 1859 by Philip Webb for William Morris as his family home and now in the care of the National Trust. It is regarded as one of the most important buildings of the Arts and Crafts movement, and its interiors carry work by Morris, Burne-Jones and Rossetti. Nearby stands Hall Place, a Grade I listed Tudor and Jacobean house on the Cray with formal gardens and a topiary Queen's Beasts, and Danson House, a Palladian villa in Danson Park, one of the finest of its type in London.
Bexley's northern edge along the Thames at Erith and Crayford has a very different character, shaped by industry — Vickers had major works at Crayford producing armaments and, during the First World War, employing thousands of women munitions workers. Erith was once a Victorian riverside resort with a pier before industry took over, and the marshes and riverside walk at Crayness and Erith are now an important wildlife area. The Cray and Shuttle rivers run through the borough, with green corridors following them.
Bexley is well connected by rail, with stations at Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Welling, Erith, Crayford, Barnehurst and Bexley Village giving services into London Bridge, Charing Cross, Cannon Street and Victoria in around half an hour, and the A2, A20 and A206 crossing the borough with the M25 and Dartford Crossing to the east. The Elizabeth line at Abbey Wood, just over the boundary, has significantly improved links westward.
Housing in Bexley is dominated by the interwar suburban boom, with mile after mile of 1930s semis across Bexleyheath, Welling, Barnehurst and Blackfen, alongside older village property in Bexley and North Cray, Victorian terraces in Erith and Crayford, post-war estates at Thamesmead and Slade Green, and modern development along the riverside. It is one of the greenest and most owner-occupied of the London boroughs, with a housing market shaped by families moving out from inner London, and the ageing interwar stock supports a constant flow of extensions and loft conversions.
