Lesnes Abbey Lesnes Abbey Lesnes AbbeyBexley council has obtained Heritage Lottery Funds to make changes to the Lesnes Abbey Park which it says will “improve the visitor experience, conserve historic features and deliver modern park facilities.

Some local historians and heritage groups are concerned that a more high profile park will attract even more vandals than it does already. Bexley council no longer patrols any of its parks overnight and the female screams that are frequently audible after dark are interesting to say the least.
