Originally part of Kent until the 1960s, the small\ntown started life as pasture and heath land before becoming part of the newly\ncreated Bexley borough in 1965. Due to its unique location, residents reap the\nbenefits of both city living and access to the beautiful Kent countryside,\nmaking it extremely popular with both families and young professionals\ncommuting into the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House prices are also a major draw to the area\n\u2013 particularly in comparison to budget-busting central London \u2013 and are some of\nthe lowest of all London boroughs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past 12 months, the average property\nprice in Bexleyheath was \u00a3429,753. Slightly more than for the borough overall,\nbut significantly cheaper than the South East London region (\u00a3576,231) and\nLondon overall (\u00a3672,918).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bexleyheath has become hugely desirable thanks\nto regeneration, investment, and the town\u2019s geography. Top class leisure and\nentertainment facilities, plenty of green outdoor space like 185-acre Danson\nPark (the wider Bexley borough as a whole is home to over 100 parks), plus lower\nlevels of crime than other London boroughs make Bexleyheath a homeowner\u2019s\ndream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read on to find out more! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Transport<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One\nof the most desirable aspects of Bexleyheath is its transport links.

This makes both the city and the countryside accessible in under an\nhour, with direct trains to London Charing Cross (in 37 minutes), London Bridge (27 minutes), London\nVictoria (43 minutes),\nDartford (10 minutes) and\nthe county of Kent. Bexleyheath is also conveniently located on the A2, and\nclose to the Dartford Crossing, for those who prefer to travel by car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bexleyheath\nalso benefits from <a href=\"https:\/\/tfl.gov.uk\/modes\/buses\/\">Transport for London\u2019s<\/a> bus service which runs efficient\nand regular services across the capital, making local connections and shorter\njourneys easier and more environmentally friendly.
