The Bromley Magazines
We publish 3 magazines every month: Life In Orpington, Life In Bromley and Life In Beckenham.
The much-loved community magazines offer a mix of news, events, local people and insights, competitions and lifestyle features, plus much more!
They are easy to digest, focus on positive and inspiring news and are the go-to source of reliable and inspiring information for anyone in the know.
In each issue:
- Community noticeboard, news and features
- Regular columns - from the Bromley Police Commissioner to the Mayor of Bromley, we've got a wide range of articles written by local residents, community groups and local dignitaries
- Local hero column – your chance to nominate someone you think deserves to be featured – let's highlight our unsung heroes!
- Letters page – if you’ve got something to shout about, email or text us. You might even win a prize if you’re our star response!
- Regular competitions and puzzles – with prizes to win!
- Lifestyle news and features – a wide range of lifestyle articles, including life hacks, local business news, health and fitness, technology, parenting, home and garden and so much more!
- Adverts – just half of each magazine is reserved for advertising each month. This means people hold on to the magazines for longer to refer to articles and What's On events, meaning more eyes on your advert!

Charities and Community Groups
As a community magazine publisher, we value input from charities and community / not-for-profit groups, so feel free to send us your content ideas through the above form.
However, because we rely on advertising revenue to cover our costs, we cannot give you free advertising. We do still like to help, so we have a range of options to suit all budgets.
