Wyncham Stream

Wyncham Stream is a small river, a stream; within the London Boroughs of Bexley and Bromley in southeast London, England, United Kingdom. It is 5.6 km (3.5 miles) in length and is a tributary of the River Shuttle.

The stream rises from several sources in Chislehurst in the London Borough of Bromley and post code BR7 it then flows northeast under the A20 road Sidcup By-Pass into the London Borough of Bexley and DA15 passing through Longlands, Lamorbey and into Blackfen where it joins the longer River Shuttle in "Holly Oak Wood Park". As Longlands, Lamorbey and Blackfen all have the post town Sidcup, Wyncham Stream could be said to flow through the outskirts of Sidcup.

In Chislehurst the stream flows north there are small ponds and woodlands such as "Ash Grove" on its coarse following some of "Kemnal Road" and passing through the sports grounds of "Flamingo Park" and "Jack Nicklaus Golf Centre". After passing beneath the adjacent "Sidcup By-Pass" and "Foots Cray Road A211" the river flows under the section of railway line between Sidcup and New Eltham stations and under several residential roads, including the B2214 or Halfway Street. Some of its coarse runs between the backs of houses' gardens, whilst in other places some roads have been built with a separate lane either side and the river flowing through the middle having small grassy banks. It also runs through some small green areas, such as some allotments, a small wood called "Beverley Wood" then into "Holly Oak Wood Park" where it joins the River Shuttle. Some of the small nearby residential roads have river type names, namely Wyncham Avenue taken directly from the river but also: Brooklands Road, Brookend Road and Shuttle Close after the River Shuttle.
