East Wickham
Bexley, London
East Wickham is a quiet outer-south-east ward between Welling and Plumstead, long built out as interwar suburban housing around Wickham Street and Upper Wickham Lane. The ward scores well on the things that matter to families: the safety figure is one of the stronger ones in south-east London, air quality is good, and twenty outstanding schools are within reach. Three listed buildings include the Grade II* Greek Orthodox Church and the Grade II East Wickham Farmhouse, and local green space centres on Bourne Spring Wood and East Wickham Open Space. Housing is cheaper than most of London. The trade-offs are familiar for Bexley: public-transport access is limited, with no Tube and a reliance on the 422 and 469 buses into Woolwich or Welling; there are few cultural destinations within the ward, and weekend options are thin on the ground.
