The Daylight Inn
About
Nestled in the historic borough of Bromley, The Daylight Inn is a celebrated Grade II‑listed pub that dates back to 1935. Designed by Sidney Clark in a charming Neo‑Tudor style, it stands as one of the few surviving interwar pubs in the area, even earning a listed status in 2015. The name honours William Willett, the pioneering advocate for daylight saving time, whose home once lay in Petts Wood. Visitors today enjoy the pub’s authentic British pub ambience—a blend of traditional timber‑framed architecture, warm interior banter, and a hearty menu that ranges from classic pub fare to vegan and gluten‑free options. The Daylight Inn remains a true community hub, offering free Wi‑Fi, a full bar, and a welcoming setting for both locals and travelers looking for an authentic London pub experience.
