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's separated from North Bexleyheath by the A220 Erith Road.
The town was established following the sale of land in 1881 to make the Bexleyheath loop line in between Lewisham and Dartford. Its name originates from the name of the railway station, which was named after Colonel Barne, who owned a nearby property and was vice-chairman of the railway company. Today, the railway station runs trains in between London Charing Cross, London Victoria or London Cannon Street, by way of Lewisham and Eltham towards the west and Dartford railway station towards the east. There are 12 trains an hour during the week; on Sundays, there are 4 trains each hour. The railway station was openedto stimulate the building of homes. The Barnehurst Estate was built in 1926 which housed many individuals.
In addition to the railway station, Barnehurst is served by five buses, one of which goes to the popular Bluewater Shopping Centre. There are few buying or leisure opportunities inside the town, so individuals generally go to surrounding regions employing public transport links or the primary roads.
Barnehurst is dwelling for the non-league football club Phoenix Sports FC, which plays at Phoenimx Sports Ground.
