On the last Friday of every month, Bromley FC kindly host a Veterans Hub for all veterans of Bromley (and more, it’s open to bringing veterans from all over!)

Cllr Serena Gupta is a serving RAF Reservist, and went across to meet veterans across Bromley.

The most veterans in any London Borough is actually Bromley. But we want to meet and find them ALL!

So - if you are one, please come along. No need to book. Just show up.

To meet fellow veterans, and people involved in looking after this very special part of our community (and for tea/coffees & baps!) - see you at 11am in Bromley FC on the last Friday of every month.

The 227 is nearly never empty when it passes through Shortlands. Cutting 84 services a week will only mean one thing: even busier buses.

It is completely illogical to cut this service.
