Brockley
Lewisham, London
Brockley is one of inner south London's most intact Victorian suburbs. The entire ward sits inside the Brockley Conservation Area, a long continuous stretch of Victorian housing laid out from the 1840s and filled in with Gothic villas, Italianate terraces and workmen's cottages by the turn of the twentieth century. Twenty-six buildings are listed, and the pattern of wide tree-lined streets with service mews to the rear survives more or less as it was drawn. Connectivity is better than many southern wards thanks to the Overground at Brockley and Honor Oak Park and main-line services at Ladywell and Crofton Park, with the City reachable in around twenty minutes. The ward's independent retail, cafés and weekend market sit mostly along Brockley Road and Mantle Road, and housing is more affordable than neighbouring Blackheath or Honor Oak while carrying the same period housing stock. Green space is diffuse rather than concentrated — Hilly Fields and Brockley's smaller parks, plus the cemetery — so residents who want a big single open space have to walk to the edges of the ward.

Brockley became one of the first suburbs in the country to campaign successfully for Conservation Area status under the new 1967 Civic Amenities Act, with the designation granted in 1973 largely because of how little of the original Victorian fabric had been lost to wartime bombing or post-war redevelopment.
