Schools in Bexley, London

Designated a national priority zone for urban regeneration within the Thames Gateway, the London Borough of Bexley spans south-east Outer London from the River Cray to the Thames shoreline, home to around 248,000 residents. Hall Place stands in Old Bexley. The Tudor-Jacobean mansion and its gardens beside the River Cray mark the older village character that sits alongside the borough's more recent suburban and industrial riverside growth.

Upton has long been a school-competitive corner of the borough, drawing families seeking primary places in a keenly contested part of outer south-east London, with Bexleyheath and New Eltham also attracting parents who are weighing catchment options. Southeastern rail services from Bexleyheath station run to Charing Cross, London Bridge, and Cannon Street.
