Hotels in Bexley, Sidcup & Bromley
East and south of Eltham the suburbs run out towards the Kent border. Sidcup and Bexleyheath are both a short hop on the same railway line; Bromley, further south-west, is the largest shopping centre in this part of London.
This side of the borough boundary is where a couple of genuinely old buildings survive. Hall Place at Bexley is a Tudor house with formal gardens beside the River Cray, and Danson House, a Georgian villa in Danson Park, is open to visitors in season. Both are a reasonable drive or bus ride from Eltham.
Hotels here tend to be chain properties on the main roads, which is worth knowing: they are generally cheaper than Greenwich and still within half an hour of Eltham.
