Bellingham is a district in south east London, in the London Borough of Lewisham. Its neighbouring districts are Catford, Sydenham and Downham. The Ravensbourne River runs through the centre of Bellingham, and to the east and west it is bordered by railway lines running south from Catford. The name Bellingham means “the water-meadow belonging to Beora’s people”, and was the name of the medieval manor in the area. The name was preserved by the farm in the area, Bellingham Railway Station and the Bellingham Estate. Other historical names have been preserved by the street names of the estate, which are connected with King Alfred, who was thought to have been the lord of the manor of Lewisham, and were taken from the names of mills, houses and fields in the area. Bellingham was mainly farmland until the Bellingham Estate was built, mostly between 1920 and 1923. London City Council built about 2600 houses and flats during this time. Bellingham Estate was one of many large estates built by London City Council after the First World War to assist with slum clearance and relieve overcrowding. As there was plenty of land available most of the dwellings built were two-story houses, and there was lots of green, open space Today, Bellingham is a localised town centre. Its high street is Randlesdown Road, which has a supermarket, a gym, hairdressers and multiple restaurants and food outlets. It also has a sixth form college, and church and a library. Bellingham boasts many famous past and present residents, including the singer/song-writer Kate Bush, the former Labour Prime Minister James Callaghan, and the footballer Ian Wright.
