Beckenham
Beckenham is a district inside the London Borough of Bromley. It borders Beckenham Place Park and Bellingham in the London Borough of Lewisham. It is 8.4 miles south east of Charing Cross.
Beckenham was a little village within the borough in Kent mostly with land serving as private parkland until the railway was constructed in 1857. Soon after that, an entrepreneurial family started constructing villas which triggered the populace to elevate massively from just 2,000 to 26,000 between 1850 and 1900. Since 1900, housing has been constructed at a steadier pace, which means the population is beginning to balance out. In the 2011 census, the population stood at 56,668.
The district is served by three principal railway stations as well as six more inside the post town. There's also two Croydon Tramlink stations to the west of the district. Transport for London buses serve the Beckenham area to link it with other towns such as Bromley, Catford, Croydon and Crystal Palace.
Beckenham is identified for its numerous chapels. St George’s Church is the main parish church and stands in the centre of the district. It goes back to about 1100, but was majorly rebuilt at the end of the nineteenth century. It consists of a 13th century lynch gate that is considered to be among the oldest of its kind in England.
