In Bexley Village (DA5) the split is 21% flats to 79% houses over 3,319 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.

On access, narrow village lanes with a one-way section; driveways on the newer roads — one reason two operatives with a transit-sized van as standard, upsized to a Luton for a double garage or a lock-up with heavy workshop contents. Fitters travelling in use Bexley (Southeastern).
