Bexley, England

The typical property in SE28

SE28 covers Thamesmead, Plumstead north and the Royal Docks south fringe, a south-east London Greenwich / Bexley outcode with the postwar Thamesmead new town and substantial regeneration potential.

Area summary

SE28 spans Greenwich and Bexley and covers Thamesmead (the postwar new town, 1968-1990, planned by the GLC), Plumstead Common edges and West Thamesmead. Thamesmead was conceived as a brutalist new town on reclaimed marshland and substantial parts of the original plan were never completed. The Peabody Trust now manages much of the Thamesmead estate land and is delivering a major regeneration through the 2020s and 2030s, including the new DLR extension to Thamesmead (in TfL planning). Housing is dominated by 1970s and 1980s low-rise and tower block stock, with newer post-2000 private development on the outer fringes.

There is no operational railway station within SE28 currently. The nearest is Abbey Wood (Elizabeth Line, 2022 opening) in adjacent SE2.
