Bromley forms one of the 32 boroughs of the city of London. Besides that, it is an ideal tourist attraction for anyone interested in a memorable holiday moment. The main airports are located in London and there are numerous shuttles and train services to get you safely to Bromley. However, if you want some more freedom in your movement, best car hire at the London airports.
A car hire won’t limit you to train stations or bus stops and you can freely drive through Bromley and make as many stops as you would like. There are so many hiring firms at the airport that will give you a reasonable rate depending on your needs. But be sure to get a car that is well serviced, air conditioned and ready to cover high mileage.
Things to Do in Bromley
The borough of Bromley is a haven for great things to see, indulge in or take home with you. Here are some of the awesome activities you can do while in the town.
- The Chislehurst Caves - these caves have preserved a lot of activities that have happened in the history of London. It was an ammo hiding area in World War I then later on became an Air Raid Shelter for World War II soldiers. It then became a man made mine for some time until it became a suitable venue for film or music festivals.
- Down House- It is said that this used to be a lovely home that housed the author of the evolution theory, Charles Darwin. It is said he lived in that house for 40years with his family. Some of his works like the evolution by natural selection were produced here!
- Croydon Canal- one of the longest canals in London that stretches for over 15km. It is also said to be the only canal that was closed through an act of parliament, but is now an open tourist attraction.
- The Glades- now this is a great spot if you are interested in doing some shopping in Bromley before leaving for home. All high-street stores are located here and you are lucky that it is not so crowded nowadays after the economic crunch.
- The Old Bromley college- this is quite the place to be if you want to see one of the best architectural designs in the town. It is said that the college dates back to the 17 century and was housing clergymen widows.
With a good car hire from London, Bromley is open to a lot of sightseeing and enjoyment.
