Bexleyheath is a substantial suburban area situated in the London Borough of Bexley, close to the border with Kent. Around 12 miles southeast of central London, Bexleyheath has developed a distinctive identity marked by extensive Victorian and Edwardian housing, interwar garden suburb estates, and more recent contemporary developments. The area’s focal point is its broad pedestrianised shopping district, known for The Broadway Shopping Centre and an array of retail, dining, and leisure facilities.
