Enjoy a healthy walk in the countryside and visit some excellent pubs en-route
Bromley CAMRA has identified a network of paths and tracks which link the rural pubs and clubs in Bromley all together (as well as walks to adjoining areas and their hostelries). We have published a series of brief guides for these walks, which range in distance from less than a mile to about 5 miles.
Each of the Bromley Pub Walk Guides briefly describes the route and terrain, lists the pubs/clubs that you can visit, and provides information about public transport.
Almost all of the pubs & clubs are accessible by public transport on at least 6 days of the week, so it’s really easy for drinkers and walkers to get to and from these excellent establishments, to get out into the fresh air, take some exercise and enjoy a drink or two.
Since the first route guides were published in 2019, additional routes have been added and most of the original guides have been updated. Update Spring 2025: All the routes are currently being checked by members of Bromley CAMRA; many have been updated.
A chance to visit three pubs located relatively closely together in the Green St. Green area. We begin at the Buff, a spacious Greene King pub which offers a 10% discount to CAMRA members on purchases of pints of real ale. Several bus routes pass near to this pub. From Central Bromley or Beckenham use the 358, or within Orpington the local R4, R5, R8 and R11 routes. Alight at Crescent Road. The full itinerary is as follows :- 7:30pm Buff, Pinewood Drive, Orpington BR6 9NL 8.30pm Queen’s Head, 73 High St. Green Street Green BR6 6BQ 9.30pm Rose & Crown, Farnborough Way BR6 6BT.
Bromley CAMRA members who are not on the committee are always welcome to attend committee meetings. Non-committee members planning to attend a meeting may request the Secretary (secretary@bromley.camra.org.uk) to prepare and print a pack of relevant committee papers to be made available at the meeting. The Three Hounds bar & bottle-shop opened during the 2020 Covid crisis, and as lockdown eased was able to open more fully in Summer 2021. As well as an extensive twelve keg beer range, three cask beers are available and six still ciders too. Beers are sourced mainly from local & national microbreweries. A selection of Belgian bottled beers are also available. The pub is within a few yards of Clock House railway station. Bus users should use routes 194, 227, 354 or 358. In all cases, alight at Clock House. The address is 57 Beckenham Road, Beckenham BR3 4PR.
