Dist:0.2km north<br/>This parade dates from 1908. Apart from these few shops in Widmore Road, and others at Southborough, Bickley remains entirely residential, almost completely devoid of shops, pubs and business premises.

Dist:0.6km north<br/>This is a cul-de-sac. A footpath known (jokingly?) as Pine Walk continues westwards, to the left of the last house in Romney Drive. Sundridge Park golf course is behind the houses to the right.

Dist:1.1km southeast<br/>Looking east. Bickley railway station is in the London Borough of Bromley, between Bromley South and Swanley stations, on the main line from Victoria to Dover. The station was opened by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR), originally by a line from Bromley on 7 July 1858. East of the station are the "Bickley Loops" which connect the ex-LCDR ines with those of the erstwhile South Eastern Railway.

Dist:1.2km south<br/>The curious name of this road originates from a place called Fashoda on the White Nile in Sudan which lay approximately on the intersection of the British (Cairo to the Cape of Good Hope) and French (Senegal to Sudan) desired lines of influence in Africa during the 19th century. In 1898 small military forces from both countries met there, creating the so-called Fashoda Incident, and widespread popular outrage at the other side's imperial expansionism was so great in the following months that the two countries nearly went to war over their rival claims to the place. The road and its houses were probably built shortly afterwards in celebration of a perceived British victory.

Dist:1.2km east<br/>Almost all of this grid square is occupied by large expensive private houses, of which this is a good example. The Dobermann guard dog can just be seen peering through the gate...
