Barnehurst
Barnehurst is a town and district in South East London in the London Borough of Bexley. It's 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 soon after the sale of land in 1881 to construct the Bexleyheath loop line in 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. Now, 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 an hour through the week; on Sundays, there are four trains each hour. The railway station was openedto stimulate the construction of houses. The Barnehurst Estate was constructed in 1926 which housed a lot of people.
In addition to the railway station, Barnehurst is served by five buses, one of which goes to the popular Bluewater Shopping Centre. There are limited buying or leisure opportunities in the town, so individuals often visit surrounding locations making use of public transport links or the main roads.
Barnehurst is residence towards the non-league football club Phoenix Sports FC, which plays at Phoenimx Sports Ground.
