"Golf was first introduced in England in 1608 at Royal Blackheath Golf Club."

What locals say about Eltham

  1. Tree lined streets, close to woods and open space, pretty houses, 20 minutes to London Bridge, perfect young family area ... what more do you need...

  2. I grew up in Greenwich and have lived in the borough all my life. Eltham is a nice area, with plenty of green spaces to enjoy. There's lots of history and Oxleas Woods is a delight.
