Most of it is in ZIP code 23452; the eastern side is in 23454. OpenStreetMap names Lynnhaven, London Bridge, Eureka Park and Pinewood Gardens as places inside it.

The Lynnhaven SGA page calls the area a “gateway to the Great Neck peninsula” and says “the London Bridge area is one of the oldest commercial areas in Virginia Beach.” It also says: “The entire area is heavily impacted by Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) restrictions associated with flight patterns at Oceana Naval Air Station, including noise zones and two accident potential zones.” The city’s AICUZ page explains what that means for a property.

The city’s Lynnhaven SGA Master Plan (PDF) recommends opening access to the river and marshes, strengthening existing neighborhoods with services and convenience shops, and better walking and biking links. The SGA page says the area “is under study for a potential future transit stop.”
