Westcombe Park station is in Greenwich, London and lies at the northern end of a conservation area (Westcombe Park), 5-10 minutes walk down Westcombe Hill from the Blackheath Standard area of Blackheath. It is the closest station to the Woodlands Art Gallery (a small art gallery featuring regular exhibitions of local artists; the same building was until October 2003 also used to house the local history archives), and is also close to the southern approach to the Blackwall Tunnel, a notorious traffic bottleneck.

Nearby bus services include services between Eltham and Greenwich town centre, Stratford and Lewisham (via the Millennium Dome), and the Millennium Dome and Bexleyheath.
