Belvedere is a town of south east London, England in the London Borough of Bexley. It is located south east of Thamesmead and is located approximately 12 miles (19 km) southeast of Charing Cross. Belvedere was in Kent, and postally remains so. It formed part of the Municipal Borough of Erith prior to 1965 and development work occurred before the Second World War, with significant reconstruction work after the Blitz. Regardless of this, Upper Belvedere and the Village still features a lot of its Victorian and Edwardian appeal and character. Upper Belvedere is home to a church and several Victorian and Edwardian brick villas. It includes numerous regular pubs, restaurants and retail outlets. These consist of The Eardley Arms on Woolwich Road, The Vic on Victoria Street, The Royal Standard in the heart of the village and also the Fox in Belvedere village. Upper Belvedere is also home to a large sized park and a library that was under threat of getting shut down due to the government's cuts. Thankfully closure threats have been stopped as a result on the efforts in the local area. A new 'Splash Park', which opened in 2005, was a popular addition for the village, having been created on the site of the old Victorian paddling pool. The splash park preserves some of the original paddling pool architecture. From 1898 to 1961, Callender's Cable Works, at the Erith Works, was patron to Callender's Cableworks Band, an amateur brass band formed of workers of the business. The band was a successful broadcaster on BBC Radio in the 1920s and 1930s.
