Single Street, Rural hamlet in London Borough of Bromley, England
Single Street is a small settlement stretched along a narrow country lane between Luxted and Berry's Green in London Borough of Bromley. The hamlet consists mainly of residential properties set among green spaces that define its rural appearance.
The settlement emerged from the clearing of wooded land and first appeared on maps in 1871. Its name comes from Old English, referring to land that had been burnt and cleared.
The area keeps its rural feel within London's boundaries, with old stone buildings like Bell Cottage dating back to the 1600s scattered along the lane. These structures shape how locals and visitors experience the village today.
The area is sparsely populated with minimal shops or services for visitors to find. It is wise to bring essentials from nearby towns before exploring this quiet location.
The area sits at the southern edge of a proposed world heritage zone encompassing the Downe region. This site would protect buildings tied to the scientific history found in the surrounding landscape.
