The M25 orbital motorway and the
Dartford River Crossing can be accessed
in just 10 minutes. The A2 passes through
the heart of the borough, offering a
direct connection between London and
the south coast ports and Channel
Tunnel. From here, you can do business
with all of Europe.
Three railway lines also pass through the
borough, offering connections to
Victoria, Charing Cross and Cannon
Street. They pass through key
interchanges at London Bridge and
Lewisham which connects to the
Docklands Light Railway (DLR).
The capital’s airports are all within easy
reach of Bexley. London City Airport is just
30minutes away and London Heathrow,
Gatwick, Stansted and Southend can be
reached in just over an hour.
Bexley businesses benefit from great connections to central London and the
south east of England by both road and rail networks.
THE IDEAL LOCATION
Future planned investment will boost
these connections, offering new routes
into London and increased capacity on
existing routes. Elizabeth line services
are scheduled to start from AbbeyWood
in December 2018, and will offer easier,
quicker and more direct connections to
CanaryWharf, theWest End and
Heathrow Airport. Journeys from Abbey
Wood to CanaryWharf will take an
estimated 11 minutes, and just 23 minutes
to theWest End.
Bexley is working hard to attract further
investment to improve local road and
transport connections around Abbey
Wood, to ensure the benefits of Crossrail
are maximised. The extension of the
Elizabeth line eastwards to Gravesend/
Hoo Junction is a continuing priority
for the Council, as are capacity
improvements to the local road network.
