Upton, London

Upton is a hamlet engulfed when the new town of Bexleyheath developed during the early Twentieth Century. It included for a short period Red House the elegant brick and tile home designed by Philip Webb for William Morris, now preserved by the National Trust. It also had a hospital that can still be seen on Upton Road in Bexleyheath. Administratively these settlements lie within the London Borough of Bexley.
