Welcome to Southend
Southend is a small, residential area in the borough of Lewisham, south London, close to the borough's border with Bromley. With a long history as a rural village, it remained a largely undeveloped area of Kent until the period following World War One. Though mainly suburban today, it has a scattering of retail stores, pubs, and restaurants.
