Bromley Business meets the County Chronicle

The Bromley Buzz podcast team is proud to have a regular column in the County Chronicle magazine, which is available across the towns and villages to the south of Bromley, such as Oxted, Tonbridge, Westerham, and Edenbridge. The ‘Bromley Buzz’ column is usually around a page or two, and as with the podcast, each month we reflect on the positives around the borough.

Unusually, a little while ago we devoted a whole editorial to just one topic, Down House, home of Charles Darwin, when English Heritage kindly enabled us to interview both the Head Gardener and the Curator for South London. That resulted in four episodes of the Bromley Buzz podcast – episode 131, a trailer; episode 133, talking outside the house; episode 134, talking inside the house; and episode 135, talking in the rear garden and greenhouse. The stories we were told added to the joy of this ‘hidden gem’ in Bromley. We very much recommend if you haven’t been to Down House, go!

We also recommend you pick up a hard copy of County Chronicle magazine, a very informative, community magazine and to be picked up free of charge in the NISA store in Westerham and Biggin Hill Memorial Museum.

We have just submitted our latest column for the March issue, in which we talk about lemurs, Carnival Coffee Roasters, and Bromley’s landscape for business, in particular the launch of the Good Work Bromley Business Exchange – see www.lsec.ac.uk/good-work-bromley-exchange – “A new, inclusive Employment and Skills Centre is coming to London South East College’s Orpington campus. The Good Work Bromley Exchange will support all people on the margins of employment across the Bromley borough.”

We also cover the launch of Bromley Business Growth – see www.bromley.gov.uk/bromleybusinessgrowth and refer to a established service Start Up Bromley (SUB) – see https://bit.ly/startupbromley-info.

You could say, in Charles Darwin’s terms, that these developments are all part of the evolution of Bromley.
