Pub name NameAddressDescription
Anglesey Arms90 Palace Road
Bromley
BR1 3JX
This traditional and friendly local pub in Bromley North Village was built in 1873 and has been a pub ever since. Unspoilt and welcoming, there are regular quiz nights. The pub won a Shepherd Neame “small garden of the year” award in 2011. Over 25s only.
Barrel & Horn204-206 High Street
Bromley
BR1 1PW
Fuller’s owned house, though not presented in the usual Fuller’s style. This family friendly pub is located near the Market Square in Bromley town centre and has normally one guest cask ale (such as Fuller’s, Gales’ or Dark Star). Emphasis is on craft keg beers, wines and cocktails with an eclectic dining menu. Live music and other social events are popular with the younger clientele.
Crown & Anchor19 Park Road
Bromley
BR1 3HJ
Small comfortable local in a quiet residential street. Decor is plain and conservative. The stone patio area at the rear can be used as a function room, but in good weather, one wall can be removed, providing access to the garden. Hot snacks are available throughout the day until 9pm.
Crown in Sundridge46 Plaistow Lane
Bromley
BR1 3PA
This long-established pub – previously the Crown Hotel – closed in March 2013 and reopened as an Indian restaurant named Cinnamon Culture. Eventually the restaurant moved to a new location in Chislehurst and the premises have now been taken over by Punch Taverns, reopening on March 31st, 2022.
Freelands Tavern31 Freelands Road
Bromley
BR1 3HZ
The pub is is one of a number of Greene King pubs in this part of Bromley North. Named after the road of largely Georgian and Victorian era houses, the pub is probably of the latter period. It has a central U-shaped bar that serves seating areas on three sides.
The pub was refurbished in the of summer 2014.
Greyhound205 High Street
Bromley
BR1 1NY
The Greyhound reopened in 2011 as the most recent addition to the selection of JDW outlets in the borough and rapidly became a popular town-centre venue. The layout of the pub forms an L-shape, with a wooden-floored bar at the entrance of the pub and a larger carpeted area more orientated to diners at the rear. The overall area is much larger than one would realise from the outside.
Lord Holmesdale184 Homesdale Road
Bromley
BR1 2QZ
New management took over the pub at the beginning of July 2019, and have made substantial changes, with the objective of creating a family and food orientated venue. In particular, the Sports TV screens, the pool table and the football scarves behind the bar are all gone.
And real ale has been introduced, for the first time in many years. For a while management intend to experiment with the cask ale choice, including some unusual choices.
Food is now served throughout the day, with pizza a speciality, although there are alternatives. On Mondays there is a 2 for the price of one offer for pizza.
The pub itself is rather larger and more spacious than one would guess from the exterior. Inside is a single U-shaped bar with the floor, walls and bar all predominantly wooden. To the rear is a secluded stone-flagged garden with benches and tables.
Partridge194 High Street
Bromley
BR1 1HE
Grade II-listed former NatWest bank, now a spacious pub retaining many original features including the high ceilings and chandeliers. There are two snug rooms off the long main bar, plus a small back patio An upmarket food menu is offered, including vegetarian choices. Located by the Market Square, the pub is popular with shoppers and theatregoers for the nearby Churchill Theatre, as well as those drawn by its live music on Saturday evenings.
Prince Frederick31 Nichol Lane
Bromley
BR1 4DE
Although this is not a listed building, it is one of London’s Real Heritage Pubs (ie on CAMRA’s London Regional Inventory of Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest). This Greene King-owned pub is sited in a quiet road on the borders of Bromley North and Sundridge Park. ‘Prince Frederick’ is unique as a British pub name and commemorates the eldest son of George II. Although the prince died in 1751 the present building is of the Victorian era. It was revamped in the 1930s to provide two bars at the front, but the partition between the bars has been removed and the front bar is now one open plan area. At one time there must have been an off-sales compartment between the two parts, as indicated by the double doorway at the front of the building. There is also a back bar, distinct in its 1930s design, with a glazed advertising pane.
Railway Tavern45 East Street
Bromley
BR1 1QQ
The pub re-opened as an Antic outlet in August 2014. Two Volden cask ales are available with up to two changing cask ales, such as from Adnams, Timothy Taylor and St Austell.
Single bar with several rooms and partitioned areas lead off with the usual Antic eclectic range of shabby chic furniture and dim lighting. To the left of the bar, one room is served by the open kitchen. The popular menu concentrates on traditional British fare with both snacks and mains as well as Sunday roasts.
The pub was originally built in the Victorian era for the Nalder & Collyer Brewery of Croydon in conjunction with the coming of the railway to Bromley North. The green and ochre tiling completely covers the two external facades of this essentially triangular footprint building.
Red Lion10 North Road
Bromley
BR1 3LG
Traditional, well kept, pub located in the quiet back streets just north of Bromley town centre. It retains many original features including tiling, and has an extensive library of books dominating one wall. As at mid-July 2021 the food range is mainly pizzas.
Richmal Crompton23 Westmoreland Place
Bromley
BR1 1DS
This Wetherspoons pub has an ideal location at the end of the High Street and directly opposite Bromley South mainline railway station. Many of the borough’s principal bus routes also pass by. The premises were formerly a supermarket and as such the single storey drinking area is very spacious, with a long single bar. Breakfast is served from 8.00am and is popular with morning train travellers. The pub is named after the author who was a teacher at Bromley School for Girls for a time.
Star & Garter227 High Street
Bromley
BR1 1NZ
This is the local branch Pub of the Year for 2018, 2019 and 2020. The Grade II listed Star and Garter reopened in early November 2016 having been closed for more than two years.
Sundridge Park Golf ClubGarden Road
Bromley
BR1 3NE
Opened in 1901.
Swan & Mitre260-262 High Street
Bromley
BR1 1PG
The pub reopened in June 2015 following a brief closure for a sensitive refurbishment, which has retained much of the old character whilst making the interior much smarter and brighter.
Originally an old coach house, this 350 year old traditional style pub boasts richly carved and gilded floor-to-ceiling mirrors and is a familiar landmark in Bromley North. During the day it is a relaxing refuge from the bustle of the High Street – especially in the patio garden at the rear.
The interior contains an island bar, and has been modified over the years to provide separate drinking areas. Discount on real ale purchases for CAMRA members.
