General
Beckenham has had a number of famous residents. Charles Darwin lived in the town for a time and Enid Blyton's early books were written in Beckenham. Legendary cricketer W G Grace is buried at Beckenham crematorium, as are Thomas Crapper (inventor of the flush toilet) and F Y Wolseley, (the car manufacturer). More recently, David Bowie lived in the town in the late 1960's and early 70's, and played gigs in The Three Tuns in the High Street (now Zizziâs)
Shopping
Beckenham offers not only the usual range of high street chains but also a wide range of independent specialist shops, something that is vanishing all too quickly in many of our towns. Beckenham is also notable for its wide range of restaurants and bars. You may choose to quaff a pint of ale in one of the historic pubs, or sip champagne and oysters in a fashionable wine bar. Or if you are hungry you can choose from restaurants offering English, American, Indian, Thai, French, Italian or Chinese food.
Entertainment
Beckenham is not just a place to shop and eat, it also has a number of entertainment facilities and community buildings.
Located in Croydon Road and a short walk from the war memorial roundabout is Beckenham Hospital. Also at the war memorial roundabout is the Odeon cinema, showing all the latest film releases. See our links page for what's on.
If its fitness you're after, why not visit the Spa, Beckenham's first-rate sports centre. It has a pool, sports hall, gym, sauna, a children's play area, squash courts, aerobics studio and more! And to relax why not visit one of Beckenham's three parks: Kelsey Park, Croydon Road Recreation Ground and St George's Common.
The Studio, located a short walk away in Beckenham Road runs a programme of music and arts events. It also runs music, singing and drama classes. Also on Beckenham Road is Beckenham Library.
