West Heath

DA16 1 / DA17 5 / DA7 4 / DA7 5 / SE2 0

Family-friendly

West Heath sits between Bexleyheath and Abbey Wood, a residential area of 1930s and post-war housing. There is a small cluster of shops on the main road. It benefits from being close to Lesnes Abbey Woods and within walking distance of Abbey Wood station for the Elizabeth line. That transport link has made it more attractive recently. Otherwise it is quiet and residential with no strong identity of its own.
