Every local newspaper covering areas bordering green belt / rural land runs a story like this every time farmers muck spread ! more chav bleating! Sad, not surprised its bexley eef! Innit
The usual source of general persistent fecal pong in that corner of SE London is the Crosness Sewage Treatment Plant, a.k.a. The Thamesmead Shitworks, which processes much of South London's crap.
They do spray the settlement beds with Industrial Chanel No 5 or somesuch, generally successfully, but a persistent unfavourable wind can spread the residual pong over much of Greenwich and/or Bexley.
We are in field-spraying-with-shit season after all.
I have a bucket of chicken shit that I'm about to throw all over my garden so if you read a similar story from the north of Scotland in a week or so, it was probably me.

Dartford Market is a good market but a foul smelling shithole too...thats where my vote goes.
Well, I Think It's Just Bexley...
That's a little unfair Julia.
I happen to know that the bathing habits of Bexley are the highest they've been since Elizabethan levels. Mostly.
What has @Sir_Olly_C been up to, I wonder?

“One reader has suggested the smell originates from farming in northern Holland.”
"... the highest they've been since Elizabethan levels. Mostly."
LOL!

Not, I suspect, tulips from Amsterdam? ;)
The wind must be in the "wrong" direction again.

You get used to it.
If it's a manure-like smell it's probably manure.
