Situation

Wantage Road is located in the heart of the Lee Conservation area. This area has really come to life over the last few years, with some very smart gastro pubs and restaurants being opened which have quickly gained local acclaim. The area also continues to be popular with families, with a number of local schools within walking distance including Colfes and the three fantastic Brindishe Schools. Also the pick up and drop off for the Eltham College bus and the Dulwich Schools (jags, Alleyns and the College) combined bus is a couple of minutes away on Burnt Ash Rd. Manor House Gardens is just round the corner and is a lovely park that includes tennis courts, a play area, a pond and even a regular farmers' market.

Hither Green station, a favoured transport hub due to the multiple train lines and fast connections to London Bridge, Cannon Street, Charing Cross and Waterloo East is within short stroll, whilst Lee provides a convenient alternative. Both connect to Lewisham for transfers for DLR services to the Docklands, whilst the new Superloop bus provides regular services to Canary Wharf (free for the first year).
