About

Bromley is a town in southeast London, within the London Borough of Bromley. It sits about 9.5 miles southeast of Charing Cross and was part of Kent until 1965. The town centre is organised around the High Street and The Glades shopping centre; other civic landmarks include the municipal offices, public library and Churchill Theatre. Rail services call at Bromley South, with fast trains to central London, and a short branch line runs from Bromley North to Grove Park, providing a local shuttle connection into the suburban network.

Local green spaces include Queen's Gardens and a mix of small parks and commons that frame residential streets. The town fills a role as a shopping and administrative hub for the borough while supporting community facilities — markets, leisure centres and arts venues operate year round. Several 20th-century cultural figures have roots in Bromley; a notable example is David Bowie, who attended school in the town. Street patterns and a mix of Victorian and later buildings reflect Bromley's growth in the 19th and 20th centuries.
