The Best Houses For Sale In Bromley Are Often Near Outstanding Schools

Amazing state schools are a big draw for families considering beautiful Bromley. Highlands and Valley both have outstanding reviews from Ofstead.

A Beautiful Day In The Neighbourhood

On Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays the bright and inviting open-air street market adds to the happy bustle. The high street area also has the indoor shopping centre, Intu, and the large Central Library. Bromley Borough’s fourteen libraries offer several reading groups for younger children and teens, regular children’s events and programs, as well as holiday activities like the Summer Reading Challenge. 

For children and adults who love outdoor sports, there's open-space playing fields and parks, several golf courses, and the Bromley Cricket Club -- one of the best in the country. The upgraded Pavilion Leisure Centre offers bowling, a gym, pool, and fitness centre. Bromley Football Club hosts a term-time Saturday Morning Soccer School, coaching boys and girls ages 4-12 in football on their super-safe 3G rubber crumb pitches.

Bromley Is Convenient For Commuting

While a number of cycling enthusiasts claim that Bromley is a nice bicycle commute, most commuters prefer to use one of the many railway stations for non-stop services to the city-centre and commute times are as low as 20 minutes. The express train from Victoria to Bromley South Railway Station is about 16 minutes and offers you the opportunity to shop at Waitrose on the way home. If you prefer Sainsbury’s, then take a look at homes around Bromley North Station. Commuter rail trips over London Bridge from Bromley North to Charing Cross Station are only 32-47 minutes.

A comprehensive system of bus services winds their way through the area, connecting to destinations beyond the borough. The recent London Overground extension offers links to Croydon, East London, and the London Underground Network. Access to public transportation is abundant and convenient for easy access to Central London and beyond.
