The name comes from the proper name Bicca and it most likely means Bicca’s clearing. The first mention of the area comes from 1279. Bickley Hall estate formed around a hunting lodge that belonged to the Wells family. Architect Robert Mylne designed Bickley Hall house in 1790 for shipbuilder John Wells.

John’s nephew hired architect Robert Smirke to work on additions to the estate that he inherited from his father William, John Wells’s brother. Housing development started in 1860. Bickley Hall was demolished in 1963. The local railway station opened in 1858 as Southborough Road and renamed Bickley two years later.
