Belvedere is a town of south east London, England inside the London Borough of Bexley. It's located south east of Thamesmead and is found approximately 12 miles (19 km) southeast of Charing Cross. Belvedere was in Kent, and still has a Kent postcode. It formed part of the Municipal Borough of Erith before 1965 and improvement work occurred prior to the Second World War, with substantial reconstruction work following the Blitz. In spite of this, Upper Belvedere and the Village still has much of its Victorian and Edwardian appeal and character. Upper Belvedere contains a church and many Victorian and Edwardian brick villas. It boasts a quantity of classic pubs, restaurants and retail outlets. These include 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 close to being closed because of local government cuts. Fortunately closure threats have been averted as a result with the efforts of the local area. A brand new 'Splash Park', which opened its doors in 2005, was a welcome addition to the village, having been created on the location of an old Victorian paddling pool. The splash park preserves parts of the historic paddling pool structures. Between 1898 and 1961, Callender's Cable Works, at the Erith Works, was patron to Callender's Cableworks Band, an amateur brass band formed of employees of the company. The band was a prolific broadcaster on BBC Radio in the 1920s and 1930s.
