Blackfen, a name that reflects the past of this land – a dark, marshy area. The soil is fertile and rich, a testament to the watery history of this place. The land around Blackfen Road and Wellington Avenue is still prone to flooding in extreme conditions. Today, Blackfen is a suburban area in the London Borough of Bexley and much has changed since those early days. This wasn’t always the case. In the 1920s, the area was still largely woodland – the original Woodman Pub was built as early as 1845. The sale of the Danson Estate and electrification of the railway led to the growth of housing estates in this area. Blackfen was then just a small village with a handful of houses and a few pubs. Now it’s a bustling community with a plethora of amenities including a library, shops and pubs. You can appreciate the legacy of those past residents as you walk around Blackfen today.
