Mottingham is a district in southeast London, located in the London Borough of Bromley. In the late 19th century, the area was primarily rural with a small population. However, with the expansion of the railway system in London, the area became more accessible and saw an increase in development.

Historical places of interest in Mottingham include Mottingham Hall, which was built in the late 18th century and was once the home of the bishop of Rochester. The hall has since been converted into a school. Another notable site is Elmstead Wood, which is a large area of ancient woodland that has been preserved as a nature reserve.

During the late 19th century, the population of Mottingham was primarily made up of working-class families who were employed in various industries throughout London. The district was also home to a number of agricultural workers, as the area was surrounded by farms and fields.

Today, Mottingham has evolved into a predominantly residential area, with a mix of Victorian and Edwardian housing, as well as more modern developments. The area is popular with families and young professionals, thanks to its green spaces and easy access to central London via the railway.
