Flower Delivery to Bexleyheath by Clae Florist

The suburban district of Bexleyheath in South East London used to be an area with very little buildings, until the 19th century. Even though the Bexley Heath windmill had been already there at that time, it is still not as famous as it is today.

People who have always been interested in visiting can take delight in the fact that the district is known for its wonderful culture and immeasurable beauty.

History

The north of Bexley (a place that would become what is Bexleyheath today) became a subject to an Enclosure Act in the 1800s. Enclosure Acts were UK Acts of Parliament that aim to enclose common land and open fields in the country. The move often creates legal property rights to lands that were considered common previously.

Despite its composition of a few establishments in the earlier centuries, Bexleyheath has some structures and edifices that are still present today. These include the Danson House (now called the Danson Park since it was built in a parkland between Welling and Bexleyheath) and the Red House, designed by architect Phillip Webb in 1859 for artist and socialist William Morris. You can almost expect both to be a home to beautiful trees and flowers in Bexleyheath.

This London district has developed since then. In 1912, the clock-tower was built, in commemoration of the coronation of King George V. Later in the 1970s, the headquarters of the London Borough of Bexley was also erected.

Attractions

Danson Park - Located between Welling and Bexleyheat is Danson Park, a 78-hectare park with a landscape designed and laid out by Nathaniel Richmond. It has a lake, a function suite and restaurant, which are suitable for travellers who love to see nature at its finest. Completing the picturesque landscape are greeneries and Bexleyheath flowers that come in various species and colours.  

Shooters Hill - This famous piece of open land runs down the River Thames. Visitors can find 12th century churches here, and most of them are actually notable, including St Paulinus, St Mary the Virgin and St John the Baptist. The heavily wooded flanks are sure to pique the interest of tourists who are more enthusiastic about the woody side of London.

Hall Place and Gardens - Hall Place is a Tudor mansion bearing five hundred years of history. It was transformed into a museum with many shows that tell the rich stories of the building and all the people who have owned and lived in it. The lush gardens are also an attraction that never fails to captivate visitors from all walks of life.

Bexleyheath, indeed, is an English district known for its rich history and beautiful attractions. And anyone who wishes to visit this place will never be disappointed at all, instead, will enjoy its culture, along with its modern approach to tourism.
