Churchill Theatre Gardens

If you're out and about in the suburbs, and decide to pop into Intu Bromley (formerly and more popularly known as 'The Glades'), make sure to visit the Churchill Theatre Gardens!

Oh, and don't let the name put you off. It does sound like a cross between a prime minister, the West End and Kew, but it's actually a good-sized area of greenery.

There's even a small children's play area, but of course I am too mature for such things.

What I prefer is a bit of culture. Thus I am standing in front of this empty structure attempting to look all educated.

There are occasionally performances there, but these are kind of obscure. So obscure that this veritable treasure trove of information - why are you looking around, going 'What?' 'What treasure trove?', it's ME, people - has no clue when the next performance is. Never mind. It's fun to scramble up and down the tiers anyway.

And here I am with Miss Duck, who's a duck.

See? I come up with the most surprising facts. Like I said, treasure trove.

There are quite a few animals here, good for pointing out to the elflings. There are squirrels and the ubiquitous pigeons too, of course.

I'm going to find a nice squirrel to talk to, since I think Miss Duck's conversation is mostly quackery.

See you soon,
