Barnehurst is a town and district in South East London inside the London Borough of Bexley. It's north east of Bexleyheath, and is 13 miles east south-east of Charing Cross. It is separated from North Bexleyheath by the A220 Erith Road.
The town was established following the sale of land in 1881 to create the Bexleyheath loop line between Lewisham and Dartford. Its name stems from the name of the railway station, which was named after Colonel Barne, who owned a nearby house and was vice-chairman of the railway company. Right now, the railway station runs trains between London Charing Cross, London Victoria or London Cannon Street, by way of Lewisham and Eltham towards the west and Dartford railway station towards the east. There are 12 trains each hour for the duration of the week; on Sundays, there are four trains every hour. The railway station was openedto encourage the creation of homes. The Barnehurst Estate was built in 1926 which housed a lot of individuals.
In addition to the railway station, Barnehurst is served by 5 buses, one of which goes to the well-liked Bluewater Shopping Centre. There are not many buying or leisure opportunities within the town, so people usually go to surrounding locations utilising public transport links or the primary roads.
Barnehurst is home towards the non-league football club Phoenix Sports FC, which plays at Phoenimx Sports Ground.
