Bromley Parks encompasses approximately 7,000 acres, equivalent to 28.32 square kilometers, of verdant terrain within the jurisdiction of Bromley Council. This expansive green space serves as a source of pride for the Council, exemplifying its commitment to stewardship on behalf of the diverse community of Bromley residents. Notably, a significant portion of this land includes the surroundings of Down House, historically associated with Charles Darwin, and presently owned by Bromley Council. The area holds singular cultural importance as it functioned as the "open-air laboratory" where Charles Darwin formulated his groundbreaking theory of evolution through natural selection.
