The London Borough of Bromley is London’s largest borough by area, occupying 59 square miles. Its enviable position in the South-East makes it an attractive place for residents, businesses and visitors alike.

With strong road connectivity to other economic nodes via the M25, M20 and the South Circular, Bromley is ideally located for links into London and also Kent and beyond via its proximity to ports such as Folkstone. Bromley has more railway stations than any other London Borough providing quick and efficient travel into London.

Home to the only specialist business airport within the M25, Biggin Hill Airport accounts for 20% of business aviation traffic in the Metropolitan region and is surrounded by a cluster of high value businesses engaged in aviation services.

Strong digital connectivity meets the needs of most modern and higher value businesses that locate here. This, combined with a skilled and well-qualified workforce, appeals to a wide range of business sectors.

An abundance of green space, including the famous Crystal Palace Park, enhances the health and well-being of residents. With over 120 parks in the Borough, there are plenty of opportunities for leisure and exercise. There is also a strong cultural and historical heritage in the Borough which has paved the way for creative clusters to evolve.
