Pubs in Bromley

Freelands Tavern

31 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 summer of 2014.

Anglesey Arms

90 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.

White Horse

64 Palace Road, Bromley BR1 3JX

This traditional back street local was purchased from Punch by a private owner in 2016 and reopened in November after a major refurbishment with real ale restored. The pub remains attractively presented from the outside with window baskets, but internally is much more open and with more light than previously.

Red Lion

10 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.

Prince Frederick

31 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

Shortlands Tavern

5 Station Road, Bromley BR2 0EY

Runner-up Bromley CAMRA Pub of the Year 2014 and 2015. The pub is much improved following renovation in 2012. There is only one regular beer, but the other five handpumps serve a changing range of beers, mainly from non-mainstream breweries. The cosy atmosphere is enhanced by a real fire in winter. The many activities include comedy nights, live music, a book club, a knitting group, painting classes and even bingo. The pub also has a range of board games. Sister pub to the Pelton Arms in Greenwich.
