Where to stay in Lessness Heath
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Rooms are few on the heath. Lessness Heath is a residential slice of the Belvedere area, so a visitor with St Augustine's Church or the Parish Church of St John the Baptist on the plan usually books further into the London Borough of Bexley and travels in. The Chequers marks one end.
Keeping nearer Belvedere puts shops and transport in reach, and the walk between the parish churches fills an afternoon.
