Alphabetical thing: Bexleyheath

Bexleyheath railway station is on the Southeastern lines. It has two platforms, linked by a footbridge. Like many other Southeastern stations, each platform has its own exit. Only one of the exits has barriers.

There are also some wonderful Victorian lavatories in the station. Big and spacious, with those old-fashioned tiles and heavy wooden doors. The metal cisterns have been replaced by plastic ones, but  apart from that, it all feels fairly authentic. (I didn't take any pictures, since photographing in public toilets is a good way to get beaten up, or arrested, or both.)







What's outside the station? An access road with a builders' and gardeners' merchants' yard on the other side.


Is it near Bexleyheath town centre? No, but it's just a short bus ride away from the centre with its distinctive clock tower.
