Crook Log
Bexley, London
Crook Log sits in Welling and Bexleyheath, on the southern edge of the A2 and within walking distance of Danson Park. The ward is 1930s suburban at the core, with a strong set of pre-suburban anchors surviving in the landscape. Listed buildings include three at Grade I: Red House, the William Morris and Philip Webb Arts and Crafts house of 1859–60 and the only house commissioned by Morris; Danson House, the Palladian villa built in 1766 by Sir Robert Taylor for Sir John Boyd; and the well head to the south-east of Red House. Danson Park, at just over thirty-seven hectares, is the largest open space in the area. Safety readings are strong, twenty-one outstanding schools lie within reach, and air quality is reasonable. The drawbacks: public transport is only moderate, with no tube and bus-plus-Bexleyheath-rail required for most central-London trips; the planning pipeline is essentially nil; and food and culture options are thin away from Bexleyheath Broadway.
