Shirley

Shirley’s name, derived from Old English meaning “bright clearing”, reflects its long history as a settled area that has grown from medieval origins into the pleasant residential area it is today.

Residents can enjoy woodland walks through Addington Hills, a round at Shirley Park Golf Course or a stroll around the tranquil Miller’s Pond. The town centre along Wickham Road offers a mix of shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs, including the historic The Crown. Local life is brought to life by events such as the annual Shirley Heritage Festival, community leisure clubs and seasonal activities that foster a strong sense of connection among neighbours.

At Beckenham Hearing we provide Shirley residents with professional, independent hearing care. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience, we carry out thorough assessments and design solutions tailored to each individual’s needs.
