Elmstead is a place in the London Borough of Bromley.
There is much ancient woodland in this area. Elmstead Woods may be
reached from Elmstead Lane. There is a Green Chain walk (pedestrian
country walkway) linking the Walden Recreation Ground and the woods.
It's also possible to walk from the woods to Sundridge Park (now a golf
club and leisure / conference facility) and to Chinbrook Meadows, a very
pleasant park, with a children's play area.
The woods are stunning in the autumn, and are well worth paying a visit.
The actual boundery of Elmstead spreads from Chislehurst West (previously
known as 'Prickend' or 'Pricking') to Elmstead Woods railway station, which
borders Bickley. The railway station itself celebrated its 100th birthday in
August 2004. It has two ponds, complete with fish, and beautiful landscaped
garden areas. The station has won many awards. Ravensbourne Media College
is a short taxi drive away, or a 15 minute walk.
The nearest pub is the Blue Atrium on White Horse Hill, Chislehurst.
