South east London boasts some of the capital's best-loved pubs.

But it has not been exempt from the sweep of pubs closing across the UK over recent decades.

It has been estimated that more than 2,000 pubs across the UK may have had to end trading permanently in 2020 as lockdowns forced universal closures.

This would be more than double the average number of pubs lost in recent years.

With restrictions easing this week to allow pubs to open if they have suitable outdoor space - the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has been urging people to support their local pub.

Here's a look back at some of the pubs in Bromley that have had to close their doors permanently in previous years:
