Bromley Branch Social

This social offers a chance to visit two of Bromley’s best known real ale venues.

The Shortlands Tavern has twice been runner-up in the Bromley CAMRA Pub of the Year competition in the last few years. The pub – which offers a diverse and changing range of up to six real ales – is located next to Shortlands railway station and is also passed by the 227 and 358 routes from Bromley to Crystal Palace. Alight at Meadow Road. The social begins here at 7.30pm. The address is the Shortlands Tavern, Station Rd, Shortlands BR2 0EY.

An uphill walk (about 15 minutes) or a short bus ride is then needed to reach the Star and Garter, 227 High Street, Bromley BR1 1NZ. A multiple winner of the Bromley CAMRA Pub of the Year competition, this pub – reopened in November 2016 having been closed for more than two years – is close to the Market Square in the centre of Bromley, which is a few minutes walk from either Bromley North or Bromley South stations. Several bus routes pass close to the pub. We are scheduled to arrive here at 9pm.
