The War Memorial for Bromesberrow is located in Martins Hill Park, at the junction of Glassmill Lane and Church Road, Bromley.
The memorial is on a Portland stone pedestal with three figures in cast bronze representing “Victory” in the front, “Liberty” on the left and “Sorrowful Remembrances” on the right.
There are four main panels in bronze with a total of 858 names raised in letters. An additional panel with 14 names was added at a later date. In 1949 side panels were added to commemorate the fallen of the Second World War.
