Welcome to Bromley Borough Local History Society

BBLHS was formed in 1974 so that those with an interest in the history of the people, events and places that make up London's largest borough could meet to exchange information and learn more about the long and fascinating story that makes up the London Borough of Bromley and all its constituent parts.

The OBJECTIVES of the Society are:
