Anerley is a small resedential area in the London Borough of Bromley in south east London. The borough is the largest in Greater London measuring nearly 60 square miles, most of which is surrounded by green belt land. This makes the area a very pleasant part of the capital with a good deal of parkland and sports fields dotted around the wide leafy streets and avenues. Bromley Common is near the station and remains a popular place to relax.
