Where to stay in Longlands
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Three boroughs share these streets. Longlands has no hotel quarter of its own, so most visitors take a room in Sidcup or over towards Eltham and walk back in for All Saints Church, the Manor House or the Metropolitan Police Museum. Sidcup is the closer of the two.
Which borough a given road falls in matters little on foot, though a Bexley address and a Bromley one can sit a street apart here.

About Longlands
What are the main landmarks in Longlands?
Churches mark the boundary streets. All Saints Church, Holy Trinity Church and Christ Church stand among the housing, the Manor House supplies the one older building of note, and the Metropolitan Police Museum sits within reach for anyone drawn to that record. None of it needs a full day.
A morning covers the churches and the Manor House, which leaves Sidcup or Eltham for the afternoon.
What is the history of Longlands?
Boundaries cut through Longlands. The area straddles the lines of the London boroughs of Bexley, Bromley and Greenwich, an arrangement that leaves one name divided across three sets of borough records and three sets of local services. The Manor House stands among them.
Sidcup and Eltham are the better-known names on either side, which leaves Longlands the quieter ground between, marked by its churches and by the Metropolitan Police Museum.
Where is Longlands?
The area sits north west of Sidcup and south east of Eltham, on the ground where the Bexley, Bromley and Greenwich boundaries meet.
