Ashdown Close is a cul-de-sac off Kemerton Road and this is a popular location just off Wickham Road, approximately half a mile from Beckenham High Street with a good range of shops, restaurants and other amenities including a cinema. From Beckenham Junction there are trains to Victoria and The City as well as trams to Croydon and Wimbledon. Entrances to Kelsey Park are located on Wickham Road and local shops will be found by the Park Langley roundabout or at Oakhill Parade on Bromley Road. The popular Clare House Primary School is located at the end of Overbury Avenue and both Bromley Road and St Christopher's Primary schools are also in the vicinity.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
