continuing to The Goldsmiths Arms
Posted On: January 20, 2021 at 11:26 pm
This is an Antic pub, with a much-improved range of real ales compared to its previous ownership. It is a rather lengthy walk from The Bridge House, but that can easily be avoided by use of the high-frequency 227 bus route.
Those joining the crawl here should bus use routes 75, 176, 227, 356 or 358 and alight at Penge/Pawleyne Arms. Alternatively, Beckenham Road tramlink stop is about 15 minutes walk away, whilst Penge East railway station is a similar distance.

This is our first out-of-area social since lockdown eased up, and takes us to the picturesque Thanet town of Broadstairs, which now boasts a staggering SEVEN micropubs. The plan is to meet at Bromley South station in order to catch the 9.57 train which is due to reach Broadstairs at 11.29. Please arrive at around 9.30 if you interested in benefitting from a groupsave ticket.From the station it’s about a 20 minute walk to the first pub – The Yard of Ale – which opens at noon. This pub has won a host of awards, and reached the last four of CAMRA’s 2015 pub of the year competition. The remaining six micropubs are grouped close together in the town centre and are also convenient for the station.Click here to see a map of the town centre, showing all of the micropubs.
