Bromley is a town and the administrative centre of Bromley Borough in Greater London and is 9 miles south-east of the capital's centre. It is a large retail area with a shopping mall called Intu Bromley. It has a number of theatres such as the Churchill Theatre. The parish church of St Peter and Paul is a prominent landmark.

Downe House, the home of Charles Darwin, is nearby (Luxted Road, Downe) and is great for a family day out - Darwin lived with his family there for 40 years and crafted his theories of evolution and natural selection which were so scientifically significant.

Kent has many port towns including Dover, Folkestone and Margate. Adjacent counties include East Sussex, Surrey, Essex (across the River Thames) and, as stated earlier, Greater London. Curiously, Kent used to contain an enclave north of the River Thames until 1965 which equates now to the E16 postcode area and which has now been reclassified as part of the London Borough of Newham. JMW Turner, the great impressionist painter, spent part of his childhood in Margate and regularly returned there in later life. The coastline of East Kent is regarded as the inspiration for many of his works, particularly his fantastic seascapes.
