Today I sketched the former Royal
Bell Hotel in Bromley, which is currently the target of an enterprising
initiative to bring a permanent Arts venue to the centre of the town. The group who are behind the idea are called the
‘Bromley Arts and Community Initiative’ and they have just received funding
from Bromley Council to progress with their plans.
This is what they say about
their aims on their blog;
‘We are a Bromley based community group with two specific and related
goals:
1) To procure the Royal Bell Hotel in Bromley as a focal point for
social, recreational, cultural and educational interests including a community
pub
2) To promote and encourage the work of Bromley based artists and
creative organisations by enabling the delivery of imaginative, varied and
engaging arts-based activities which benefits the whole community’
