Sidcup

Sidcup is the major district centre in the south of the borough and serves as the commercial heart of the local community.

About Sidcup

Sidcup dominates the southern border of the borough, flanked by both the London Borough of Bromley and Kent County Council.

For many years, Sidcup was known as the gateway to Kent and it still prides itself on offering a busy village atmosphere. A major hospital and two colleges add distinction to the area which is blessed with some fine parkland.

Sidcup town centre is the commercial heart of the local community with a good mix of well-known High Street names, successful independent shops, a broad range of services, a modernised library, snooker centre and popular pubs. Over 90 buses an hour serve the town centre, complementing the 400 car-parking spaces and a train station only a short distance away.

Although Sidcup can trace its roots back to the Middle Ages as a tiny hamlet on the road from London to Maidstone, about 9,600 people now visit weekly to shop and go to work.

The Council has installed CCTV equipment to make sure that the town retains a safe and thriving character.

Draft Sidcup Manor House Conservation and Management Plan

Residents have until 28 August 2009 to have their say on the Draft Sidcup Manor House Conservation and Management Plan. The Plan will inform future decisions affecting the use, restoration, maintenance and general management of this prominent historic building, which forms part of The Green, Sidcup, Conservation Area.

Directory of Businesses in Sidcup

In April 2004, members of the Sidcup town centre partnership compiled a directory of businesses, most of which are still trading.

Sidcup Library, in Hadlow Road, holds a stock of these leaflets. Alternatively, a PDF version of the directory is available for download from the right hand menu.

If your company address, opening hours or telephone number has changed since this directory was compiled, please email bexley.100@virgin.net
