The long read worth saving for nap time
What’s it actually like?
Bromley Sports Club is a multi-sport club with cricket, squash, tennis and paddle courts, plus a bar and kitchen upstairs. Based on the reviews, it’s more of a family-friendly club setting than a classic soft play venue, so expect sport, not slides and ball pits. The best bits for parents are the balcony views over the cricket pitch, friendly staff, and the fact there’s food on site at weekends. Several reviewers also praised the atmosphere, which suggests it works well for a relaxed family visit or a party. The downsides are fairly practical: parking can be a pain on weekends because it gets busy, and there’s nothing in the reviews to suggest much for tiny children. It sounds best if your lot are old enough to enjoy watching sport or joining in, rather than needing a full-on toddler wrangle.

A sports club rather than a dedicated kids attraction, with cricket, squash, tennis and paddle courts. Parents mention a first-floor bar, balcony views over cricket, and food at weekends. Good for older kids and mixed-age families; less of a toddler day out, frankly.
