End of Tenancy Cleaning Kidbrooke SE3

The name Kidbrooke comes from Kyd Brook. This is a watercourse tributary to the River Ravensbourne. It flows from Orpington to Lewisham. The Kidbrooke Park Estate has many houses from the 1920s and 1930s. Kidbrooke Village is built on the site of the now-demolished Ferrier Estate. This South East London estate was built in 1968 and redeveloped in 2012. It now has more than 4,200 homes. Sutcliffe Park can be found nearby. The lake in the park was made by releasing the underground channels from Kyd Brook. The lake acts as a defense against flooding. The local railway station opened in 1895. New station buildings took the place of the original ones in 1979 and 2014.
