Welcome to Penge

Penge is a suburban district located in the London Borough of Bromley, in the south-east of Greater London. It is situated between Crystal Palace and Beckenham, and is known for its Victorian architecture, green spaces, and vibrant community. Penge has a rich history, dating back to the 17th century when it was a small hamlet on the edge of the Great North Wood. Today, it is a bustling residential area with a diverse population and a range of amenities.

One of the most notable features of Penge is its architecture. The area is home to many beautiful Victorian buildings, including the iconic Penge East and Penge West railway stations, which were built in the 1860s. Other notable buildings include the Alexandra Cottages, a row of picturesque terraced houses, and the former Melvin Hall, which has been converted into luxury apartments. Penge also has a number of green spaces, including Betts Park and Crystal Palace Park, which offer residents a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Penge has a strong sense of community, with a range of local events and activities taking place throughout the year. The Penge Festival, which takes place in June, is a popular event that celebrates the area's history and culture. Other events include the Penge Christmas Lights Switch-On, the Penge Jumble Trail, and the Penge Heritage Trail. The area also has a range of shops, restaurants, and cafes, making it a popular destination for both residents and visitors alike.
