Old Bexley

DA5 1

PoshVillage feelGood high streetFamily-friendly

Old Bexley is the historic village centre of the borough and it still looks the part. The High Street has pubs, a church, and a handful of shops around a village green area near the River Cray. It is one of the most attractive spots in the borough. Housing is a mix of period cottages, Georgian and Victorian properties, and larger detached houses. Bexley station is walkable. It genuinely feels like a village and carries a price premium to match. If you want character in Bexley, this is where you find it.
