Bexley is an area of south-east London in England. It forms a part of the London Borough of Bexley. It is situated approximately 13 miles (21 kilometres) southeast of Charing Cross. Historically, it was a parish in the county of Kent. As part of the suburban growth of London in the 20th century, Bexley increased in population, becoming a municipal borough in 1935 and has formed part of Greater London since 1965. Danson House and the nearby Danson Park in Welling are two of the major famous attractions in the London Borough of Bexley. One of London’s most famous architectural families in the 19th century came from Bexley: the Shaws. John Shaw worked on Lamorbey Park and was a well known architect in Kent and London, being one of the earliest designers of semi-detached housing in the capital. He is buried at St. Mary’s Church. His son, John Shaw Junior, lived in nearby Crayford for a short time and owned a villa which was demolished in the early 20th century. Red House, the only property commissioned, created and lived in by William Morris, founder of the Arts and Crafts movement, is a building of extraordinary architectural and social significance. When it was finished in 1860, it was described by Edward Burne-Jones as ‘the beautifullest place on earth’. The house has been acquired by the National Trust and is now open to the general public. Though the residence will not be totally furnished, the original features and furniture by Morris and Philip Webb, stained glass and paintings by Burne-Jones, the bold architecture and a garden designed to ‘clothe the house’ are still available to view.
