Bromley Local Information
Bromley is the main suburb in the London borough of Bromley. Records
dating back to 1272 state the name comes from the Old English for
‘broom hill’. If you read Jane Austen’s book,
‘Pride and Prejudice’, there is a reference to Bromley
in chapter fourteen of volume two. Lady Catherine says to Mrs Collins
“Where shall you change horses? Oh! Bromley, of course. If
you mention my name at The Bell, you will be attended to.”
In 2005 ‘The Bell’ pub was converted to a bar –
‘Sky’. Sky has since shut down, replaced by another
bar called ‘Bromleys’, but the sign of the ‘Royal
Bell’ can still be seen on the stones out front.
H.G. Wells was born in Bromley, and Billy Idol’s mother still
lives in Bromley. Actor Michael York (of ‘Austen Powers’
fame) lived in Bromley, as did David Bowie and Peter Frampton. Bromley
has a mall, High Street, and is one of the ten major metropolitan
centres outlined in the London Plan, in the South London sub-region.
Why not spend the day at ‘The Glades’ shopping centre,
and use your van hire to get all your shopping home? Drive past
historic Wickham Court, built in the 1480s by Sir Henry Heydon while
Edward IV was King. If you’re lucky you might chance upon
a day when they’re having an open day, and you might be able
to book a tour of this beautiful old building.
