Just 18 minutes from Victoria but are Bromley leafs above the station in the EFL?

ITBland but otherwise unglamorous and once described by former resident Frankie Boyle as a “lobotomy made of bricks”, Bromley can now boast an English Football League club for the first time in its thousand-year history of the city.

It was once a Kentish market town but swelled rapidly with the advent of the railways and even more so with ‘white flight’ to the outer suburbs of London from the 1950s onwards. Ten miles south-east of central London and an 18-minute non-stop train ride to Victoria, Bromley is exactly the kind of place you’d expect to see our absurdly popular national sport flourish. Extremely wealthy — residents enjoy one of the highest levels of gross disposable income in the country
