Hawley’s Corner, Bromley
The southernmost distinct settlement in Greater London, situated at the junction of five roads, south of Westerham Hill
A very cute thatched mini- cottage at Hawley’s Corner
Miss Thorneycroft, the daughter of a local farmer, set up a Christian mission in a cottage at Hawley’s Corner in 1877. After the Thorneycrofts moved away and the lease expired a new chapel was established in nearby South Street.
Former tearooms at the corner of Grays Road have been extended to become the Spinning Wheel pub and restaurant, while a tiny thatched cottage provides accommodation for the manager. It may be the cutest little structure in the whole of Greater London.
The south-western quarter of Hawley’s Corner, which includes Westerham Heights Nurseries, was transferred to the care of Sevenoaks district council in 1993.
