Brockley
Brockley is a district and an electoral ward of south London, England, in the London Borough of Lewisham 5 miles (8 km) south-east of Charing Cross.
In 2021 it was named the best area of London to live in. It is an area rich in Victorian and Edwardian domestic architecture, historic trees and original lanes and mews. This is protected by a conservation area and the Brockley Society. It has a strong community and numerous popular cafes and restaurants. The station is on both the mainline railway and the Windrush line. The London Borough of Lewisham's Draft Local Implementation Plan 2019–41 proposes linking the station to the Victoria to Dartford line which crosses Brockley station by 2030.
