Beckenham is a town in the London Borough of Bromley, England. It is located 8.4 miles (13.5 km) south east of Charing Cross, and 1.75 miles (2.8 km) west of Bromley town. Until the coming of the railway Beckenham was a small village in almost completely rural surroundings: once a family of entrepreneurs began the building of villas here, its population soared throughout the rest of the century. Today it is very much in London suburbia, although some of the grand houses of the early days remain.

Appare con il nome di Bacheham nel Domesday Book del 1086; Il nome sembra derivare da "Beohha's homestead" (fattoria di Beohha . Il Fiume Beck prese il nome dalla città. La parola Beck significa anche "striscia" in Medio Inglese. Molti reputano John Cator come colui che ha trasformato Beckenham da villaggio a città importante alla fine del XVIII secolo. Dopo la sua morte nel 1806 questo processo accelerò culminando negli anni 30 del XIX secolo con l'arrivo della ferrovia. La Chiesa di San Giorgio nel centro della città ha un portale del XIII secolo, considerato il più antico in Inghilterra.

  • Beckenham er en by i Bromley i London, omkring 13,5 kilometer sørøst for Charing Cross. Stedet er nevnt i Domesday Book som Bacheham. Dette kommer antagelig fra mannsnavnet Beohhan og gammelengelsk ham, «Beohhans hjem». Elven Beck har navn etter byen. Frem til slutten av det 18. århundre var stedet en landsby. Tømmerhandleren og landeieren John Cator regnes som den mest sentrale personen for stedets vekst, en prosess som ytterligere skjøt fart etter hans død da jernbanen kom i 1830-årene. Sognekirken St. George's Church har en lychgate fra det 13. århundre, som regnes for å være den eldste bevarte i England.
