Downe Local Information
The village of Downe lies in a beautiful wooded valley approximately
5 ½ kilometers from Charing Cross, in the London Burough
of Bromley. Although the centre of the town is quiet and peaceful,
the history is very rich and lengthy.
Charles Darwin made Downe his home for forty years until his death
in 1882 at the Down Home. The Downe Bank was one of his favorite
places, and made into a nature preserve in his honor. Charles Dickens
also frequented the village, and is said to have been deeply inspired
by the beauty of the valley, which he refers to in many of his literary
works.
Today, the village is home to a diverse group of industries and
businesses, and a major destination for various sporting events.
In fact, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport nominated Down
House and the surrounding area as a World Heritage site. Regardless
if that occurs, residents and visitors always enjoy the amenities
and ambiance of Downe.
