Barnehurst
Barnehurst is a town and district in South East London in the London Borough of Bexley. It is north east of Bexleyheath, and is 13 miles east south-east of Charing Cross. It's separated from North Bexleyheath by the A220 Erith Road.
The town was established following the sale of land in 1881 to develop the Bexleyheath loop line between Lewisham and Dartford. Its name stems from the name of the railway station, which was named after Colonel Barne, who owned a local home and was vice-chairman of the railway company. Today, the railway station runs trains between London Charing Cross, London Victoria or London Cannon Street, through Lewisham and Eltham to the west and Dartford railway station towards the east. There are 12 trains every hour during the week; on Sundays, there are 4 trains every hour. The railway station was openedto stimulate the construction of houses. The Barnehurst Estate was constructed in 1926 which housed several people.
In addition to the railway station, Barnehurst is served by five buses, 1 of which goes to the popular Bluewater Shopping Centre. There are not many buying or leisure opportunities inside the town, so people often go to surrounding locations employing public transport links or the main roads.
Barnehurst is home for the non-league football club Phoenix Sports FC, which plays at Phoenimx Sports Ground.
