Bromley Zoo mural
Welcome to our heritage and biodiversity trail around the historic parks in Bromley Town Centre.
Many long term residents are suprised to be told that Bromley has a zoo, and then when it is revealed to be a mural, determine to find it themselves.
Bromley Zoo is a much loved and playful installation in Naval Walk, an alleyway off the north 1901 terrace of Bromley High Street.
A panda and lion lurk among the shrubbery and a variety of animals are presented in cunning trompe l’oeil (trick the eye) scenes. The artwork, by Bruce Dickinson in 2001, was part of the Bromley North Village Project which aimed to help reinvigorate a tired area of Bromley high street, to lead the shoppers from the car park to the High Street shops, see more here.
All the stops in the Bromley Town Centre Parks Heritage & Biodiversity trail can be found on the page about it here.
To continue the Heritage Trail, turn left down the alleyway to Bromley High Street. Turn left and in 50 meters you can turn right down College Slip. At the end of this is the K2 Telephone box.
