Welcome to Eltham

Eltham is a suburban district located in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Greater London. It is situated approximately 8.7 miles southeast of Charing Cross and is known for its rich history and beautiful architecture. Eltham Palace, a former royal residence, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the area. The palace was built in the 14th century and was later renovated in the 1930s. It features a unique blend of medieval and Art Deco styles, making it a must-visit destination for architecture enthusiasts.

Eltham is also home to a number of green spaces, including Avery Hill Park and Sutcliffe Park. Avery Hill Park is a 29-hectare park that features a lake, a rose garden, and a number of sports facilities. Sutcliffe Park, on the other hand, is a 26-hectare park that is home to a variety of wildlife, including kingfishers, herons, and water voles. Both parks are popular destinations for families and nature lovers.

In addition to its historical landmarks and green spaces, Eltham is also known for its vibrant community. The area is home to a number of local businesses, including independent shops, cafes, and restaurants. The Eltham Centre, a community hub that offers a range of services and activities, is also located in the area. With its rich history, beautiful architecture, and strong sense of community, Eltham is a unique and special place in Greater London.
