Join me as I take you around some of the lesser know parts of London, and today, we head to the South London town of Bromley to see how the locals are living in 2024 Britain. Filmed 15th February 2024.

I once lived and worked as a Police Officer in Bromley in the 1960/70s it was then a lovely place to live and work. Bromley was then a lovey Kent market town compared to the dump it has now become. The first nail in its coffin was its inclusion into Greater London then the building of The Glades shopping centre, once inside you could be in any city/town in the U.K. The old Bromley was a quiet town with high class shops in its town centre. Bromley has lost ALL of its lovely charm and character.

Born in Bromley in 75, left age 25 and have lived in Australia for past 25 years. The good old days of Bromley are long gone. Bromley hasn't changed by looking at it, a little more untidy though. Also, all the old shops have gone, no Allders, BHS, C&A, Woolworths, from what I could see only the banks, marks and maccas are the same.

So you made a video to slag off Bromley - that Primark and the market are where locals buy their clothes and Nike is as premium as it gets, that market is a Charter Market that’s been there over 100 years, not somewhere you’d find DelBoy. Did you not walk past Ted Baker, M&S, The White Company, Zara, Apple Store, Flannels, Mint Velvet, Molton Brown, Goldsmiths, Massimo Dutti, Oliver Bonas, Jo Malone, GAIL’s Bakery, Bread Ahead, Black Sheep Coffee, itsu, Waitrose, or enter the restaurant terrace overlooking the park outside The Glades, or the art house Picturehouse Cinema? And as for south London stabbings, Bromley is one of the safest boroughs in the whole of London, it also consists mostly of those of Rising Prosperity and Affluent Achievers, has excellent transport links to central London (Victoria in 16 minutes, no word of a lie), you’d also needn’t venture far to jaw-droppingly notice the multi million pound houses that supplement the retailers above that choose to situate a store in their chain in this area. The John Lewis Partnership have also chosen Bromley to build their first ever build-to-rent scheme while refurbishing and enlarging the existing Waitrose store, which recently won the support of local residents and successfully gained the necessary planning permission. Why make videos like this, honestly? It’s just not nice, when there are so many positive things to say. Some places are worthy to be picked on as they are truly awful, like Croydon. The fact you were completely blind to much of the above probably says more about you than the town of Bromley.
