BECKENHAM COPERS COPE & KANGLEY BRIDGE Character The introduction of the railway in mid-Victorian times saw Beckenham develop from a small village into a town on the edge of suburbia. The majority of dwellings in the area are Victorian with some 1940’s and 50’s flats and houses. On the whole houses tend to have fair sized gardens; however, where there are smaller dwellings and flatted developments there is a lack of available off-street parking. During the later part of the 20th century a significant number of Victorian villas were converted or replaced by modern blocks of flats or housing. Ten conservation areas have been established to help preserve and enhance the appearance of the area reflecting the historic character of the area.

  • Green Chain Walk – Section 6 of 11
    Transport for London.. Green Chain Walk. Section 6 of 11. Oxleas Wood to Mottingham. Section start: Oxleas Wood. Nearest stations Oxleas Wood (bus stop on Shooters Hill / A207) to start: or Falconwood . Section finish: Mottingham. Nearest stations Mottingham to finish: Section distance: 3.7 miles (6.0 kilometres). Introduction. Walk in the footsteps of royalty as you pass Eltham Palace and the former hunting grounds of the Tudor monarchs who resided there. The manor of Eltham came into royal possession on the death of the Bishop of Durham in 1311. The parks were enclosed in the 14th Century and in 1364 John II of France yielded himself to voluntary exile here. In 1475 the Great Hall was built on the orders of Edward IV and the moat bridge probably dates from the same period. Between the reigns of Edward IV and Henry VII the Palace reached the peak of its popularity, thereafter Tudor monarchs favoured the palace at Greenwich. Directions. To reach the start of this section from Falconwood Rail Station, turn right on to Rochester Way and follow the road to Oxleas Wood. Enter the wood ahead and follow the path to the Green Chain signpost. Alternatively, take bus route 486 or 89 to Oxleas Wood stop and take the narrow wooded footpath south to reach the Green Chain signpost. From the Green Chain signpost in the middle of Oxleas Wood follow the marker posts south turning left to emerge at the junction of Welling Way and Rochester Way. Cross Rochester Way at the traffic lights and enter Shepherdleas Wood.

En cierto sentido, siempre ha sido así: la sede del poder político en Westminster y el centro financiero de la City se Lestablecieron allí desde la Edad Media. Tuvo que hacer frente al desafío que supuso, hasta cierto punto, la aparición de grandes conurbaciones fabriles en las Midlands y el norte de Inglaterra, en Escocia y en el sur de Gales desde principios del siglo xix, pero el eclipse del poder industrial británico desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial ha reforzado la preemi- nencia de Londres. Los límites de la ciudad albergan casi 9 millones de habitantes, un récord histórico, sin incluir una enorme área metro- politana que abarca aproximadamente 14 millones de personas que trabajan en la capital, lo que supone alrededor de cinco veces el tamaño de sus rivales más cercanas en el Reino Unido (el Gran Manchester, Birmingham y Glasgow).

The primary aim of the survey is to record the land uses in each of the local centres. This enables monitoring of the change in the retail use of local shopping centres since the last survey in 2005. The five local shopping centres are Brockley Cross, Crofton Park, Downham Way, Grove Park and Lewisham Way. Local shopping centres ideally provide a mix of shops and services that meet the day to day needs of local residents. Easy access to local shops reduces the need for travel and is vital for less mobile residents who cannot easily reach larger shopping centres. When comparing the 2005 survey data with the 2012 survey data, areas of particular interest are changes in the number of vacant units, hot food takeaways, betting shops and residential units. The number of vacant units can provide an indication of the health of the centre and also contributes to the overall perception of the centre.
