About

Widmore is a neighbourhood in the London Borough of Bromley that sits just east of the town centre. The area is mainly residential, with terraces and semi-detached houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries lining streets such as Widmore Road. A short parade of shops, several pubs and small cafes serve the local population, and local churches and community halls host regular events. Day-to-day life is centred on the street-level services rather than on large commercial developments.

Green space and local routes shape how people move around Widmore. A small public space known locally as Widmore Green provides a village-style focal point and is set among back lanes and favoured walking routes. Bus services link the area with Bromley town centre and onward rail connections, so commuting and shopping take in nearby stations without changing the neighbourhood’s mainly residential character. Local groups and residents’ associations work on street-level issues such as trees, lighting and parking.
