Things to do in Bromley on a rainy day
Think you’ve run out of things to do in Bromley on a rainy day? Think again!
There are plenty of interesting places to explore when it’s wet outside. These activities are ideal if you’re with the kids, the dog or simply fancy getting out of the house on your own.
Here are our favourite picks of things to do in Bromley on a rainy day;
For 15 years, The Lavender House in Sundridge Park has welcomed locals to enjoy its cosy atmosphere and delicious fare. It’s a family and dog-friendly independent coffee shop. There’s also a covered tea garden out the back for al fresco dining, even on a wet day.
We love the Lavender House because of its warm, welcoming ambience. And, of course, the cakes!
If you fancy a special treat, they offer a Traditional Afternoon tea as well as a Kids Afternoon tea. Or, you can simply pop in for a coffee and something sweet (their macarons are our favourite).
Vue Cinema in Bromley South is hard to beat in terms of comfort. Film-goers can enjoy their favourite movie whilst reclining on an oversized leather armchair (with footrest).
Choose from the huge array of delicious snacks and treats, and grab a drink (alcoholic or not) from the bar. Vue shows the latest blockbuster films and offers multiple show times each day, usually with last minute availability.
It’s the perfect pick-me-up for a miserable day!
According to Mind Charity, spending time in nature can improve our mental health.
They say, “Spending time in green space or bringing nature into your everyday life can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing. For example, doing things like growing food or flowers, exercising outdoors or being around animals can have lots of positive effects” (Source: Mind)
But you may not fancy a wander through the woods when it’s wet outside! So, why not enjoy the wellbeing benefits of plant therapy at your local garden centre instead?
