Wetherspoon pub

This busy Wetherspoons pub originally opened in August 1999 as a Lloyds No. 1 bar before changing its image. Situated at the end of the High Street and directly opposite Bromley South mainline railway station, this is popular with commuters and afterwork drinkers as well as visitors to the adjacent St Mark's Square and Vue Cinema. Many of the borough's principal bus routes also pass by.

The single storey drinking area is very spacious with a long single bar serving a large area by the entrance, as well as a raised level with plenty of tables and seats. The rear of the pub is given over to dining with another large area plus alcoves along one side. Modern décor throughout with tiled flooring at front and red blue patterned carpet at rear. Bookshelves are present on one side of the dining area. Silent gaming machines face the bar. No piped music but always the loud buzz of conversation.

Outside areas consist of a small terrace out front and a larger longer enclosed patio area to the side with plenty of tables and chairs.

Breakfast is served from 8.00 am and is popular with morning train travellers.

Service at the bar stops 15 minutes before closing time. Opening hours are subject to change late evening.

The pub is named after the author, famous for her 39 "Just William" books and other short stories. She was a teacher at Bromley High School for Girls (1917 to 1923), living nearby in Bromley Common until her death in 1969.

Historic Interest
