Belvedere is a town in south east London, England inside the London Borough of Bexley. It's positioned south east of Thamesmead and is located roughly 12 miles (19 kilometres) southeast of Charing Cross. Belvedere was in Kent, and in terms of the postal system, remains so. It was part of the Municipal Borough of Erith before 1965 and improvement work occurred prior to the Second World War, with considerable rebuilding following the Blitz. Despite this, Upper Belvedere as well as the Village still has a great deal of its Victorian and Edwardian appeal and character. Upper Belvedere is home to a church and many Victorian and Edwardian brick villas. It includes several traditional 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 which was under threat of being closed due to the government's cuts. Luckily this danger has been stopped as a result in the efforts of the local community. A brand new 'Splash Park', which opened its doors in 2005, was a welcome addition for the village, having been created on the site of an old Victorian paddling pool. The splash park retains 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 business. The band was a prolific broadcaster on BBC Radio in the 1920s and 1930s.
