Premier Inn Bromley

Bromley is officially part of Greater London, not Kent – although many locals and long-time residents still associate it with Kent due to its historical ties. It became part of Greater London in 1965, when the boundaries were redrawn, but it still has a bit of that Kentish feel in some areas, especially the greener outer suburbs.

Bromley is known for being one of the largest boroughs in London, with a great mix of suburban calm and lively town centre activity. It’s home to Churchill Theatre, a top venue for touring shows, and Intu Bromley (The Glades), one of the best shopping centres in Southeast London. It’s also linked to some famous names – H.G. Wells, the author of The War of the Worlds, was born here. For those interested in local history, Bromley Museum gives a great insight into the area’s past.

One unique thing about Bromley is how it blends busy urban life with green spaces. You can go from high street shopping to countryside-style parks like Norman Park or High Elms Country Park in no time. The town also has a strong theatre scene thanks to the Churchill Theatre, and its mix of historical roots and modern development gives it a character all its own. 

Yes, Bromley is definitely worth a visit – especially if you're looking for a laid-back day out just outside the hustle of central London. There’s good shopping at Intu Bromley, plenty of cafes and restaurants, and cultural stops like the Churchill Theatre and Bromley Museum. You can also enjoy some fresh air in the nearby parks. It’s a good choice for a mix of shopping, sightseeing and green space without going too far from the city.
