West Wickham Local Information
In the London Borough of Bromley, West Wickham is 10.3 miles south
east of Charing Cross in central London and is boarded by Beckenham
to the north, Hayes and Keston to the east, and Surrey on the south
and west.
Over half of the town is open land and is made up of woodland and
agricultural land, and due its proximity to London, it is considered
a suburb of the city. West Wickham has a good choice of local shops,
restaurants and pubs, and there is also the popular Beccehamians
Rugby Union Club formed in 1933.
Dating back to 1068, West Wickham was a settlement mentioned in
the Domesday Book, and grew from a small hamlet into a village and
eventually a suburb throughout the years.
West Wickham railway station was opened in 1882 when the line from
Elmers End to Hayes was opened. The town is now situated on the
Hayes line direct into the city centre.
In World War 1, 300 men from the village went to fight with the
loss of 70 lives. A memorial was erected on the High Street for
those who died and was later moved to Corkscrew Hill. In World War
2, the town suffered from heavy bombing and casualties.
