If you're looking for a tasty white hot chocolate whilst you get lost in a good book, a £5 English breakfast to cure your ills from the night before, a place to take the kids whilst you catch up with friends and loved ones, or a great daytime into nighttime date location, then Deli Nene is the place to go.

Coppers is a beautiful restaurant in an old police station. The food here is lovely and the afternoon tea with prosecco is a real treat!

Although not the biggest park around, Kelsey Park is a peaceful, leafy spot with a large pond and a cafe. A great place to bring the kids, where they can run around the playground.

It is a calm, prestigious place to work and live.
Daniel
After coming to terms with the fact that I could only afford a parking space in Zone 1, I soon realised that Beckenham offered the best of both worlds. Easy access to Victoria, London Bridge, Dulwich, Croydon & Gatwick amongst others, along with the open spaces and decent house sizes of the suburbs.
Connie
Beckenham is far enough out of London to have a lovely, village (or small town!) community feel. There are great green spaces - Kelsey Park, Croydon Recreation Ground, Beckenham Place Park and more - which make this a family-friendly place to live.
Bethany
I love Beckenham because of the schools and proximity to London.
Violet
The cycle routes from Cator Park along the river (Waterlink Way) to Greenwich (45 mins,) London Bridge (60mins), Canary Wharf, Greenwich and beyond. Beautiful quiet routes.

Beckenham is a town in south east London within the London Borough of Bromley. It borders the London Borough of Lewisham. It lies north west of Bromley and is located 8.4 miles (13.5 km) south east of Charing Cross. Until the coming of the railway in 1857, Beckenham was a small village in the county of Kent with almost completely rural surroundings: once a family of entrepreneurs began the building of villas here, its population soared from 2000 to 26,000 during 1850–1900 and throughout the rest of the twentieth century. Despite its leafy image, due to its close proximity to Central London and the fact that it is served by nine railway stations (Beckenham Junction, Clock House, Birkbeck, New Beckenham, Ravensbourne, Kent House, Elmers End, Eden Park and Beckenham Hill), Beckenham makes an ideal business location. The area boasts a busy high street containing many restaurants, upmarket chains as well as family run independents, and has a good selection of well performing schools.
