The Ideal Choice

Bexley's prime location makes it an ideal choice. Whether your business is looking to relocate to a more suitable site or you are starting up, the area can offer excellent infrastructure and support.

The Borough is already home to more than 5,000 businesses of various sizes and sectors including food and drink manufacturers, logistics and a growing ICT sector, as well as a broad range of retailers.

Well known names established in the Borough include Caterham Cars, Coca-Cola, Fujitsu, Office Depot International, St.Ives Group and Imagination Group.

Bexley is situated in South East London and is a key location in the Thames Gateway development corridor. It is the focal point for commerce and industry with easy access to major road, rail, air and sea networks, including the M25, A2 and A20; Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and City airports within an hour; London's mainline railway stations under 30 minutes; Tilbury Docks and Thames Europort 45 minutes. Links to Europe through the Channel Tunnel and Dover are an hour away.

A new Thames Gateway Bridge from Thamesmead to Beckton is planned. The Cross London train line, Crossrail, is planned to run through to Abbey Wood and Eurostar passenger services are due to start running from nearby Ebbsfleet in early 2009. The last remaining un-dualled section of the A2016/A206, linking the Blackwall Tunnel to Junction 1A M25, at Thames Road, Crayford is now completed.
