Welcome to Old Bexley

Old Bexley is a small suburban town located in the London Borough of Bexley. It is situated on the south-eastern edge of Greater London, bordering the county of Kent. The town is known for its picturesque village green, historic buildings, and charming atmosphere. Old Bexley is a popular residential area, with a mix of housing styles ranging from Victorian and Edwardian homes to modern apartments.

One of the main attractions in Old Bexley is the village green, which is surrounded by a number of historic buildings. The green is a popular spot for picnics, dog-walking, and community events. The Old Bexley Church of England Primary School is located on the edge of the green, and the Bexley Village Library is also nearby. The village green is also home to the annual Bexley Village Festival, which features live music, food stalls, and a funfair.

Old Bexley has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. The town was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and many of its historic buildings date back to the 16th and 17th centuries. One of the most notable buildings in Old Bexley is the Red House, which was designed by the famous architect Philip Webb in the 19th century. The Red House is now a museum and art gallery, and is open to the public for tours and exhibitions.
