Coney Hall is an area of South East London within the London Borough of Bromley. It is located south west of Bromley, and lies close to the border of the London Borough of Croydon.

The typical architecture comprises two-storey houses with polygonal bay windows and half-timbered gables.

One of many owner-occupied estates arising during the inter-War housing boom, it was built in the 1930s on hilly farmland south of West Wickham bought by the developers, Morrell Brothers, from Coney Hall Farm. In the previous decade, opposition to road developments adjacent to West Wickham Common and Hayes Common had left the area accessible only by steep and narrow lanes. In Coney Hall's early days. London Transport refused to provide a bus service, and a free private coach service connected the estate to the nearest railway station, Hayes.

The local football club, Coney Hall F.C. play in the Kent County League Premier Division.[1]

The Prime Meridian passes through Coney Hall.

History
