Bromley's family profile in 2026

Bromley’s population reached 330,000 at the 2021 Census, up 6.7% on 2011, the joint 6th largest borough in London. Almost a quarter of residents (23.7%) are aged 19 or under, reflecting Bromley’s pull for families chasing grammar-school catchments in Beckenham, Orpington, and central Bromley.

With 17.65% of residents aged 65 or over, including 3,400 aged 90 and over, Bromley also has a notably older population than inner London, a mix of young families and long-term older residents that makes life insurance and later-life financial planning relevant across several generations of the same Bromley household.
