The typical property in SE2
SE2 covers Abbey Wood, Belvedere, Thamesmead East and West Heath, a south-east London / Bexley borough corridor benefitting from the 2022 Elizabeth Line opening at Abbey Wood.
Area summary
SE2 spans the Greenwich / Bexley boundary and covers Abbey Wood, Belvedere, parts of Thamesmead and West Heath. Abbey Wood became the south-east London terminus of the Elizabeth Line when it opened in May 2022, dramatically improving commuter access into central London (Liverpool Street in about 25 minutes, Bond Street about 38). The area was historically dominated by the Thamesmead postwar new town development and Bexley/Greenwich council stock. Substantial new-build private apartment development has followed the Elizabeth Line opening, including the Cross Quarter scheme adjacent to Abbey Wood station.
Housing is mixed: significant ex-council and council blocks in Thamesmead and inland Belvedere, Victorian and Edwardian terraced stock around the older Abbey Wood village core, and modern apartment estates near the station.
