As a specialist Block Management Company we are operating in Bromley.
History of Bromley
Every London Borough has nurtered mega pop artists – why are we telling you this I hear you ask….it’s because Ringley are based in Camden, the epicentre of all things music and Bromley isnt that far away from us !
Which pop band – Well this is not a band but the one and only Billy Idol Hails from good old Bromley !
Can you believe this legend’s real name is William Michael Albert Broad (being born on 30 November 1955 !! Wow), we all know and love him by his stage name Billy Idol, is an English musician, singer, songwriter, and would you believe actor !!
Being now both British and American he first achieved fame in the late 1970s coming from the London punk rock scene as the lead singer of the band Generation X after which he embarked on a solo career which then led to international recognition and made our Billy a lead artist inspiration during the MTV-driven "2ndBritish Invasion" in the United States. The name "Billy Idol" was inspired by a schoolteacher's description of him as being idle…hahaha whose laughing now.

History of Bromley
Can you believe The Romans are believed to have constructed a camp at Keston, close to a natural water spring known as Caesar's Well which is the source of the Ravensbourne. Some while after the Roman era, an Anglo-Saxon settlement generated around the area now occupied by the market square - the name Bromley first recorded in 862 (!) as Bromleag meaning Anglo-Saxon 'the place where broom grows'….would you believe.
The advent and meteoric rise of the suburban railway system turned the northern half of the borough into a dormitory (sleeping quarters) for London, although most of the southern half remains open countryside. Subsequently since then however, the town has grown to become one of the most important commercial and shopping centres in South East England catching up to its closest and bigger sibling Croydon.

What our CEO, Mary Anne Bowring, likes about Bromley
Yes I have been watching Bromley develop and evolve over the past few years and really is one borough oozing with potential. I am also a serious amateur history buff and didn’t realise how ancient this part of London was back in the old days ! It seems Bromley is a kindred spirit to our native Camden - The last 20 years of the nineteenth century saw the disappearance of Bromley’s Mansion Hoouse with the surrounding parkland and farmland under the advance of late Victorian urbanisation.
