Bickley is a district and a local government electoral ward in South East London, within the London Borough of Bromley. It is located east of Bromley and is situated 10.4 miles (16.7 km) south east of Charing Cross. It is known for its large and expensive houses.

Properties

Bickley Park contains a range of large houses, making it one of the most expensive areas in the Capital. It is the area between Chislehurst Road and Bickley Park Road extending to the railway at Chislehurst station. This area was the estate of Bickley Hall, a classical house designed by Robert Mylne, FRS, for John Wells, shipbuilder, in 1780 (demolished 1963). His brother William, shipbuilder and a director of Greenwich Hospital, inherited the estate, and his son John commissioned additions by Robert Smirke in 1810. Residential development started in the 1860s and was completed in the 1960s.
