Eltham is a place in the London Borough of Greenwich. It is a suburban development situated 8.6 miles (13.8 km) east south-east of Charing Cross. The village streets adjacent to the Palace, and the surrounding land, remained rural until Archibald Cameron Corbett bought the Eltham Park Estate and developed it with well-built suburban housing between 1900 and 1914. The Bexley Heath Railway (see below) had opened what came to be known as the Bexleyheath Line in 1895. Suburban development of the district really began when the Government through Her Majesty's Office of Works built the Progress Estate and large estates of temporary hutments in 1915, to house the vastly increased numbers of wartime workers in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich. In the early years this was called, rather pretentiously, Well Hall Garden City, but it compares well with later groups of municipal housing in south London - which is surprising given the fact that it was constructed rapidly between February and December 1915 and its sub-division by the South Circular Road and, until about 1988, by the even busier A2 Trunk Road.

After World War I the building of housing estates continued unabated. By the beginning of World War II, three large estates were in existence: the Page Estate (1923), Middle Park (1931-36), and Horn Park (begun 1936, completed 1950s). The latter two were built on Eltham Palace's former hunting parks. Coldharbour Estate was built in 1947. In the 1990s the defence of Oxleas Wood to the east of the town became a focus for a pan-European campaign to resist high capacity urban roads. Significantly the European Court found the UK government at fault for not adequately assessing the environmental impact of the planned road, that would have joined Beckton to Falconwood and perhaps - if objectors' fears are to be believed - been a first stage of a wider orbital road through Catford (a revival of a GLC-backed Ringway Two). In 2005 proposals to replace both the Andrew Carnegie-funded library on Eltham High Street and the newer public swimming pool were announced by Greenwich London Borough Council, the local authority.

Eltham, along with most other suburbs in south east London, is not served by the London underground. Commuters rely on two rail lines to central London, and the road network. Unfortunately, Eltham High street, the commercial centre situated on its elevated plateau, was not on an obvious route for the railway, so it is distant (and uphill) from both lines. Bus connections are adequate between these locations. Eltham Green is one of the only places in south London served by National Express coaches, generally those serving Ramsgate, Deal or Dover on the Kent Coast.

Eltham appears to be similar to many of the surrounding suburbs of south East London, but its location and history has made it predominantly white (unlike areas further towards central London, but similar to Welling and Blackfen, to the East). In many respects it is at the furthest edge of the continuously built-up London urban area, since there is much more green space and Green Belt land to its East and south east. Thus it is both 'suburban' and 'urban', and it forms part of the inner-London Borough of Greenwich.

Its historical fame as 'royal' Eltham has not really endured - many pre and post-war housing estates were bland redevelopments, and visually unappealing (the Progress Estate is an exception). The town centre has lost several of its anchor stores and its Cinema since the 1980s, and some attractive back streets were replaced by a supermarket and a car park at that time. It does support a loyal core of shoppers, diners, and drinkers, but the nightlife is modest. House prices in this part of London, even during the booms of the 1980s and late 1990s, were significantly below the averages for other sectors of London, reflecting its disconnection from London's 'global' image and the finance capital of the City. Immigrants to London tend to head to other sectors - Eltham's relatively homogeneous racial and ethnic makeup is in stark contrast to the multi-ethnic areas situated a similar distance from the centre in North West or West London, like Harrow or Ealing. Eltham still has large areas of Council housing, and the historically white, working class population of these estates and apartment blocks have given a certain notoriety to the town's name, particularly after the Stephen Lawrence murder in 1993. The "lower middle class" dominate Eltham as a whole. Outside the estates, Eltham residents occupy a housing stock of mixed age, particularly towards Eltham Park and the multiple streets with 'Glen' in their names, and there are some fine buildings scattered around the area. Only two roads, North Park and Court Road, contain million pound homes, although some of the older Victorian buildings have been subdivided into apartments. The school system, and the commercial hub, are really a reflection of Eltham's population and recent history - a functional centre, but increasingly under threat from out-of-town shopping and increased vehicle ownership.
