Two Doves, Bromley Common

Traditional pub.

Friendly and welcoming traditional Victorian pub, under new management since early 2025 and with a popular local following and focal point of the community. The building is beautifully maintained with many original features including lovely stained glass windows and looks especially inviting at night. It also has an attractive garden and conservatory.

Inside, the L-shaped bar has wooden panelling, dark grey walls and chequered grey carpet to complement the ornate leaded windows with period lampshades. Large mirrors, wooden beams with hanging tankards, framed prints also feature along with plenty of comfortable bench seating. The lighting is subdued to give a cosy atmosphere. The more modern conservatory is at the rear but still in the same décor and can be reserved for events and functions.

The garden is a draw during the summer, with plenty of varied seating and secluded areas. The patio area leads to the lawn with various borders and shrubs, overlooked by trees. Fairy lights are strung around and a small dovecote takes centre stage.

Food is currently restricted to light lunches. Food serving times may be subject to variation.

A time-honoured tradition (since 2012) is for the local Ravensbourne Morris Men to perform the Keston Wassail on the first Saturday after New Year.
