About

Bromley Common & Holwood is a large residential ward on the southern fringes of the London Borough of Bromley. The area is characterised by spacious suburban housing, ranging from inter-war semis to larger detached properties, set along tree-lined roads. It is bordered by significant open spaces, including the expansive Keston Common to the south. Local shopping needs are served by the parades along Bromley Common Road and the facilities in nearby Keston.

The ward's defining feature is Holwood Park, the historic estate where William Wilberforce conceived the legislation to abolish the slave trade. Today, the parkland offers wooded walks, the preserved Wilberforce Oak, and views over the Keston Ponds. The area maintains a distinct separation from the more urban centre of Bromley, with a landscape that gently transitions into the Kent countryside, underscored by the presence of the London Loop walking path.
