To the north and east of Bromley town centre, this postal sector is both well- connected to Central London (via Bromley North and Sundridge Park stations), and within easy proximity to green spaces and recreational facilities, with Sundridge Park and its golf club situated to the North-East of the neighbourhood. Cafes, restaurants and other amenities line College Road, and Plaistow Lane by Sundridge Park station. Particular local favourites are Ginger & Bean Café and Cinnamon Culture, where the authentic Indian food is said to be to- die-for! Sundridge Park Manor Hotel occupies a Grade 1 listed Georgian building, surrounded by terraced gardens, and offers a spectacular venue for any occasion.

First mentioned in a charter dated 987, Sundridge was originally known as ‘Sundresse’. In the 17th century, wealthy Londoners moved in. The mansion that currently stands in Sundridge Park was built in the late 18th Century, designed by John Nash and completed under the direction of Samuel Wyatt.

Apart from actress Linda Regan-Murphy, of Hi-de-Hi! and Quadrophenia fame, who grew up opposite Sundridge Park, famous residents are thin on the ground in this sedate, picturesque spot.

Sundridge Park Station is so close to Bromley North that the latter’s platform indicator is a part of the starting signal for the southbound platform.

The Bromley North line on which both Bromley North and Sundridge Park stations lie, does not join up with a line into Central London. A shuttle service runs instead to Grove Park, on the Charing Cross line. Commuters might find this an inconvenience, but will hopefully find that the leafy, village-y feel and attractive family homes compensate!

In keeping with most of the borough of Bromley, this neighbourhood is protected as green belt land, meaning local residents need not worry about the area losing its countryside charm. Nonetheless locals have frequently complained about noise and traffic as the town sit beside the intersection of the A21 and the relentlessly busy M25, with some local residents comparing the town to a racetrack. Thankfully, the local parish council has recently announced a Sundridge Community Development Plan which aims to tackle congestion in the area and revamp key civic buildings such as Brasted Primary School, Sundridge Medical Centre, the Village Hall as well as Sundridge and Brasted Social Club.
