Blackfen & Lamorbey
Bexley, London
Blackfen & Lamorbey sits in north-west Bexley, between Sidcup and Welling, a ward of 1930s suburban streets built out around the older park at Lamorbey. The mansion at Lamorbey Park, with its attached Dairy and Caretaker's House, gives the ward three Grade II listed buildings clustered around an eighteenth-century landscape now used as a drama school. Safety scores here are among the highest in the ward set, and eleven outstanding-rated schools sit within reach. The nonFood venue count is respectable for outer south-east London. The trade-offs are substantial. Public-transport access is only moderate — there is no Tube and the nearest rail stations at Sidcup and New Eltham leave much of the ward on a walk or bus ride. Green space beyond the Lamorbey grounds is thin, with Hollyoak Wood Park the largest at under five hectares, and conservation-area coverage is limited to around eight percent of the ward.
