Bromley

If you’re house hunting for a place that lets you forget the hustle and bustle of central London whilst also remaining only a few stops away on the tube, Bromley ticks that box. A comfortable sanctuary of green parks and leafy streets with all the shops, restaurants and outings one could wish for, it may even leave you with a few less reasons to pop into the city. For first time buyers, families and professionals alike, this London Borough really does have it all, from great schools and transport to a fantastic community feel.

One of the happiest places to live

It could be that Bromley is made up of 50% green space, the community vibe or perhaps it’s the simple convenience of the everyday and the amenities Bromley offers. Either way, Bromley is the second happiest place to live in London - falling just behind Richmond - and we’re not surprised! Locals completed the Survey based on the community spirit and their level of satisfaction with local services such as doctors, schools, green spaces and cultural activities. Quite the draw for home hunters, Bromley offers plenty of routes onto the property ladder for first time buyers.

New Things to Come

With the borough having a recently rejuvenated centre, awakening a far fresher feel to the hottest retail spots in the area, a house in this area is sure to be a healthy investment. Seeing refurbs on every front including an eclectic range of shops including all your classic favourites from H&M, Pandora and Apple at The Glades shopping centre, you’re never too far from a dip in the pool of retail therapy. But if a boutique style range is more your thing then Bromley’s historic Charter Market has everything from clothes and jewellery to food stalls and artisan coffee, making it a shopping experience with a touch more character.
