Bexley
Bexley is an area of south-east London in England. It forms part of the London Borough of Bexley. It's situated roughly 13 miles (21 kilometres) southeast of Charing Cross. Historically, it was a parish inside the county of Kent. As part of the suburban development of London during the 20th century, Bexley grew in population, becoming a municipal borough in 1935 and has formed part of Greater London since 1965. Danson House and the surrounding Danson Park in Welling are 2 of the main famous attractions in the London Borough of Bexley. One of London's most famous architectural families in the 19th century came from Bexley: the Shaws. John Shaw worked on Lamorbey Park and was a well known architect in Kent and London, being among the first designers of semi-detached housing within the capital. He's buried at St. Mary's Church. His son, John Shaw Junior, lived in nearby Crayford for a brief time and owned a villa which was knocked down in the early twentieth century. Red House, the only home commissioned, created and lived in by William Morris, founder of the Arts and Crafts movement, is a building of extraordinary architectural and social significance. When it was finished in 1860, it was described by Edward Burne-Jones as 'the beautifullest place on earth'. The property has been acquired by the National Trust and is now open to the general public. Although the property is not fully furnished, the original features and furniture by Morris and Philip Webb, stained glass and paintings by Burne-Jones, the bold architecture and a garden designed to 'clothe the house' are still available to view. For all your home upgrades, be certain that you employ reputable specialists in Bexley to ensure that you get the top quality service.
