Hi all, can anyone tell me about the area in and around Elmers End Road? We are looking to move to be in the catchment of the Langley Schools. We have seen a couple of houses on Elmers End Road and nearby roads but not sure what it's like as an area to live in. Many thanks!

I have friends who live half way between Elmers End and Eden park. They moved to the area for the same reason (schools) but a long time ago and I think catchments have got smaller since. They've been very happy there and I've met up with them at Sal's cafe which does excellent food - even if the rest of the parade there is looking a bit run down. Main gripes I hear about is lack of parking - depending on the road and house type it can be a nightmare. They've got a terrace and converted their drive but with teenagers and most houses having several cars it can be an issue.

Hey thanks, that's helpful! The catchment is a mile. We saw a house recently and it was obvious parking is an issue. We've been looking for ages but nothing has come out way yet. Keeping fingers crossed! X

Hi,

Bromley secondary schools PDF was released today. With all the catchments for 2013/2014 and 2015 if it helps.
