Why Move to Welling?
Laying within the London Borough of Bexley, on the border of Kent and Southeast of London, the area of Welling was once a small village and staging post for coaches making their way into London.
The town is often linked together with its neighbour, Falconwood. Things started to change in Welling with the introduction of the railway in the late 1800s as more and more people arrived in the area, more homes had to be built to accommodate the influx.
Today, it has become a leafy suburban settlement offering some decent outside space, as well as some top-performing schools and an easy commute into the city, taking around 35 minutes.
The area is very friendly, and its low cost of living and nearby facilities make it a great choice for all types of prospective buyers, especially first-timers and families.
The busy shopping street is a hub for the area and a community focal point. It is also the spot where The Cannon, the town’s most iconic landmark is located.
Travel connections are excellent and provide routes to several main London stations such as Charing Cross and Victoria. Bus routes are also more than adequate, plus residents can access the A2 Junction by car and journey on to Dartford, Eltham, Lewisham, and Woolwich among other routes.
Welling certainly supplies a geographically desirable location for anyone looking to move out and away from the city. It may feel like Welling is a world away from London, however, it has all the practical facilities you need to enjoy a relatively safe and fulfilling lifestyle.
