Welling is a suburb of London in the London Borough of Bexley to the east of Shooter's Hill.

It incorporates the local parishes of East Wickam, Falconwood, Danson and St Michaels.

It is probably one of the oldest settlements in this area, a Neolithic stone axe was found in East Wickham in 1910 and more recently (1989) remains of Roman buildings were unearthed near Danson.

It is home to a bingo hall, Welling United football ground, an internet cafe and a municipal library with meeting room. There is a wide range of restaurants (mostly take-aways) and independent shops, mainly lining Watling Street part of which is now called Welling High Street. Most of these are catalogued on the website http://www.welling.towntalk.co.uk

Foster's School is a local landmark, recently converted to residential use. Further north there is an ancient church, now used by a Greek Orthodox congregation.
