Brockley is a district and an electoral ward of south London, England, in the London Borough of Lewisham 5 miles (8 km) south-east of Charing Cross.[2] It has been named the best area of London to live in.[3] It is an area rich in Victorian and Edwardian domestic architecture, historic trees and original lanes and mews.[4] This is protected by a conservation area and the Brockley Society. It has a strong community and numerous popular cafes and restaurants. The station is on both the mainline railway and the Windrush Line. The London Borough of Lewisham's Draft Local Implementation Plan 2019-41[5] proposes linking the station to the Victoria to Dartford line which crosses Brockley station by 2030.
