Belvedere
Belvedere is a town in south east London, England within 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 in terms of the postal system, remains so. It formed a part of the Municipal Borough of Erith before 1965 and improvement work took place prior to the Second World War, with substantial reconstruction work after the Blitz. In spite of this, Upper Belvedere as well as the Village still has much of its Victorian and Edwardian appeal and character. Upper Belvedere boasts a church and several Victorian and Edwardian brick villas. It boasts numerous classic pubs, restaurants and retail outlets. These consist of The Eardley Arms on Woolwich Road, The Vic on Victoria Street, The Royal Standard in the centre of the village and the Fox in Belvedere village. Upper Belvedere is also home to a big park and a library that was under threat of getting shut down because of the government's cuts. Luckily closure threats have been averted as a result from the efforts of the local neighbourhood. A new 'Splash Park', which opened its doors in 2005, was a welcomed addition to the village, having been developed on the location of an old Victorian paddling pool. The splash park preserves some of the original paddling pool buildings. 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 staff from the business. The band was a successful broadcaster on BBC Radio in the 1920s and 1930s.
