About Bromley

Whether you love shopping or swimming, reading or rambling, comedy or conservation; London's largest borough, Bromley, has something for you.

With bustling high streets, tranquil rural villages and more than thirty-five square miles of protected countryside, picturesque parks and woodlands, it is easy to forget that you are in a London borough. The bright lights of London's west end are less than 12 miles away from Bromley Town Centre and Victoria Station is a 20 minute train journey.

Bromley is famous for its horticulture and its commitment to planting thousands of bulbs and trees each year, protecting the countryside and landscape of the borough for future generations. There are a plethora of woodland, nature trails, commons and opens spaces, which provide perfect havens for those seeking a quieter life away from the London pressures.

If you are more adventurous you could sample the wide selection of top class sports and leisure facilities, or any of the historical attractions in the borough, like Down House – Charles Darwin's home. Here you can see where Darwin worked, absorbing his inspirations and explore the atmosphere of his home. The borough also holds claim to the world's first theme park, located at Crystal Palace Park, which contains a recently restored dinosaur attraction.

All combining with the quality shopping centres, specialist markets, theatres and cinemas makes Bromley a truly exciting place to live.
