About

Petts Wood & Knoll is a residential ward in the southeastern London Borough of Bromley. The area is characterised by its suburban housing, ranging from inter-war semis to larger detached homes, set along tree-lined streets. It is well-served by local shops and services clustered around the railway station, which provides a direct link to central London. The ward maintains a quiet, settled atmosphere typical of outer London suburbs.

The area is defined by its significant areas of preserved woodland, most notably Petts Wood itself. This large tract of ancient woodland, managed by the National Trust, offers extensive public footpaths and is a central recreational space. The wood is historically linked to the campaigner William Willett, who championed British Summer Time; a memorial sundial commemorates this connection within the trees. These green spaces provide a distinct contrast to the built-up residential streets.
