About Bexley
Bexley is a suburb in southern Sydney, in the
state of New South Wales,
Australia. Bexley is located 14 kilometres south
of the Sydney central business district, in the
local government area of the City of Rockdale
and is part of the St George area.
Bexley contains a mixture of residential,
commercial and light industrial developments.
Bexley's main shopping strip (usually known as
the 'Bexley Shopping Centre') is located on
Forest Road. It includes a busy intersection with
Bexley Road and Harrow Road (characterised
by the art deco former Commonwealth Bank
building), and another busy intersection at
Stoney Creek Road (characterised by the
Forest Inn Hotel). Before a downturn in the
1980s, the shopping centre included several
banks, building societies and many grocery and
specialty shops. Many of the banks have found
new uses, such as office space in the former
Commonwealth Bank, and an IGA supermarket
for the former site of a Coles Variety Store.
Many of the current shops are of speciality
styles.
