Latest News: With installation of two Notice Boards and transfer of Millenium Stone, etc this project is completed. Further items about this park and volunteer activities can be found on the Bromley Palace Park page.

As mentioned elsewhere, this is public space is of local historical importance, being the site of a palace for the Bishop of Rochester for many centuries. This park is also designated as both an Urban Open Space, and a Site of Interest in Nature Conservation (SINC), as well as the location of number of listed structures. See our relevant Parks page for details.

Our project will link up all our local parks in a ‘Bromley Town Centre Parks Heritage & Biodiversity Trail’ (see below). It would also make all our parks more visible to the general public, both local and visiting from further afield.

With funding for our ‘Love Bromley Palace Park’ project, this will greatly enhance this historic park and its biodiversity. It will also make this park more visible to the general public, both local and visiting from further afield.

Items being installed include-

• Park sign on Rochester Avenue – Temporary signs installed.
• Way-marker posts around parks, with QR codes for further information.
• Lectern style information boards.
• Leafy and flowering plants – 80 now planted.
• Picnic table and benches, etc – transferred from other parts of site and secured.

Please note that the restoration of the ‘At Risk’ Grade 2 listed features are not included in this project as this is the direct responsibility of Bromley council, as site owner, working with Historic England.

In the meantime we are arranging monthly work parties. See images below from one of them – great fun and exercise. Please come along and help make a difference. Go to our Events page for details of future events.

We continue to campaign, along with Bromley Civic Society and others, on the impact of these developments. Watch this space.
