Property in Mottingham is varied and affordable and offers a good mix of detached and semi-detached houses.
Living in Mottingham
Mottingham lies on the border of the London Boroughs of Greenwich and Bromley and is green suburbia at its zenith thanks to the quality of housing, public parks and rail links to London.
Originally a hamlet in the parish of Eltham, the earliest records of Mottingham date from 862 AD when it was noted as Modingahema, which means the land of Moda's people.
In 1866, Mottingham became connected to the rail network but very little construction happened in the immediate area until the 20th century.
Today, Mottingham is renowned for its wide, leafy streets; open, green spaces and for its proximity to Elmstead, Chislehurst and Marvels woods.
The main shopping areas are in Mottingham Village and towards Elmstead Wood in Kimmeridge Cross. For serious shopping, Bromley to the south has major retailers such as Marks and Spencer, Next, BHS and Debenhams.
Property close to Mottingham station is, primarily, substantial, semi-detached houses built in the 1920s with long gardens and off-street parking, complemented by local primary and secondary schools.
For larger families, Mottingham offers architect designed detached houses often accompanied by large gardens and sweeping driveways.
Almost within the driving distance of a dimpled ball are two stunning golf courses; Royal Blackheath is adjacent to Mottingham station and Sundridge Park Golf Course is due south by Emstead Woods station.
Longlands World of Golf is on the Sidcup Road to the east of Mottingham and has a driving range and pitch and putt.
Transport
Residents in Mottingham are served by railway stations in Mottingham and neighbouring New Eltham which are on a loop line from Dartford to Lewisham via Hither Green.
Served by Southeastern Trains there are connections to London Bridge], Cannon Street, Waterloo East, Charing Cross, and Victoria.
Lewisham station is the southern terminus of the Docklands Light Railway serving Greenwich, the Isle of Dogs, Canary Wharf, and stations to Stratford.
The A20 Sidcup Road is a main artery into Central London via Lewisham and in the opposite direction to east Kent and Dover.

History and culture
The first church to be built in Mottingham was St Andrews on Court Road, in 1884.
Another important local landmark is Eltham College, a private school founded in 1842 as the School for the Sons of Missionaries, which moved to its present site in Mottingham Lane in 1912.
Beyond the fairways and greens of Royal Blackheath Golf Club is Avery Hill Park where, within its vast expanse of green, you will find a tropical house full of exotic plants and trees, and the Halls of Residence of the University of Greenwich.
The Bob Hope Theatre in Eltham stages amateur productions and the Churchill Theatre in Bromley is the nearest professional theatre.
Opened in 1977 by HRH the Prince of Wales, the Churchill has established a reputation for producing quality shows in an auditorium that seats 785 and is fully air-conditioned.
