 Chislehurst
Most of Chislehurst’s development occurred during the Victorian period with only small-scale changes during the first half of the twentieth century mainly on the Eltham/Mottingham borders where new houses covered the former fields and on the Orpington border where the new garden suburb of Petts Wood (described separately) was developing.
Subsequent development has been restricted to the replacement of Victorian houses with modern flats and houses; as a result Chislehurst retains a village atmosphere especially around the common, which has never been fully developed.
It continues to be a fashionable place for wealthy Londoners requiring quick access to the city combined with the quiet of the countryside, but with roads little changed in the last 50 years it is one of the most congested parts of South East London.
