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 is separated from North Bexleyheath by the A220 Erith Road.
The town was established just after the sale of land in 1881 to create the Bexleyheath loop line between Lewisham and Dartford. Its name comes from the name of the railway station, which was named after Colonel Barne, who owned a local property and was vice-chairman of the railway company. Currently, the railway station runs trains between London Charing Cross, London Victoria or London Cannon Street, by way of Lewisham and Eltham to the west and Dartford railway station to the east. There are 12 trains every hour in the course of the week; on Sundays, there are four trains an hour. The railway station was openedto stimulate the development of houses. The Barnehurst Estate was constructed in 1926 which housed a lot of individuals.
As well as the railway station, Barnehurst is served by 5 buses, 1 of which goes to the well-liked Bluewater Shopping Centre. There are hardly any buying or leisure opportunities inside the town, so people frequently visit surrounding places utilising public transport links or the main roads.
Barnehurst is household for the non-league football club Phoenix Sports FC, which plays at Phoenimx Sports Ground.
