Best Pubs in Bromley

Bromley stretches across a vast swathe of southeast London, taking in everything from the residential streets of Penge and Beckenham to the suburban centres of Bromley town and beyond. It's London's largest borough by area, encompassing former Kent towns that still retain something of their village-like character despite the encroaching sprawl. The High Street shopping areas draw families and older residents, while pockets like Crystal Palace Park offer green relief between the terraced rows and semi-detached avenues.

With well over ninety pubs scattered across its considerable reach, the borough's drinking scene reflects its mixed character. The Douglas Fir brings craft beer, pizza and board games to a residential setting, while Southey Brewing Co runs a taproom serving pizza alongside their own brews. For something livelier, The Rabbit Hole offers cocktails and DJs, and traditional boozers still hold their ground in the older town centres.
