Secret surprisingly scenic side of Bromley and Biggin Hill revealed in viral TikTok
A man recently took a ride on the 320 bus and shared his experience in a TikTok video, revealing a surprisingly scenic side of Bromley and Biggin Hill that many Londoners might not know about.
The 320-bus route runs between Catford and Biggin Hill, though the video's creator took a trip between Bromley and Biggin Hill – 'a core south east London route'.
The video now has 11.5k likes with those in the comments recommending other beautiful local bus routes.
LondonHiddenGems says in his video: 'I can't lie, 320 might be one of the most scenic bus routes in London.
'This is the only bus that I know that cuts through valleys. These are green valleys. These are mini mountains.'
He describes the route as 'really a lovely route south of Bromley.'
He explains: 'When you get to like, south of Bromley and go through like Bromley Common, Keston, into Biggin Hill, then Biggin Hill Valley, oh my gosh.
'You have to appreciate nature to another level.'
Along this stretch, the scenery changes dramatically and he shows off the scenery in the video.

He adds: 'You're cutting through rainforests. You're cutting through woodlands, bro, like trees on both sides of the road, no pavement.
He describes emerging from the woodland into the open valley, saying, 'You leave the woodlands, and then you just emerge into Biggin Hill with all these beautiful valleys, bro, at sunset, when the golden sun is just christening up on the land. Oh, it is so beautiful.'
The beauty of the route made such an impression that he rode the journey twice in one day.
He says: 'I did it twice. I went to the end of Biggin Hill, got off, went back over, I went and did it again, bro.'
For those who enjoy bus rides, this route comes highly recommended. 'This is actually one I recommend people to do at least once.
'You can get off at Biggin Hill, watch planes go on by, and it's generally lit.'
Though the area doesn't offer much in the way of cafés or shops, the natural surroundings more than compensate.
He explains: 'The whole area is really nice. There really isn't much to it. Might be one or two cafes, but generally speaking, nice area, bit in nature, but beautiful valleys for sure.
'This is one route you have to try if you are in south east London.'
He ends with a promise to return, inviting locals to suggest good food spots for his next visit.
He says: 'If you are from Biggin Hill, let me know if there's any nice food spots to kind of go and eat at the next time I'm here, because, trust me, I'll be back. Because that sunset view in Biggin Hill…'

EU and U.K. reach accord on cross-border trade and travel in Gibraltar
BRUSSELS — The European Union and the U.K. have reached an agreement to ease cross-border trade and travel in Gibraltar after years of post-Brexit wrangling over the contested territory, EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič said Wednesday. In a post on social media, Šefčovič praised the deal as 'a truly historic milestone: an EU-UK political agreement on the future relationship concerning Gibraltar. This benefits everyone and reinforces a new chapter in the relationship.' Britain left the European Union in 2020 with the relationship between Gibraltar and the bloc unresolved. Talks on a deal to ensure people and goods can keep flowing over the Gibraltar-Spain border previously had made only halting progress. In Britain's 2016 Brexit referendum, 96% of voters in Gibraltar supported remaining in the EU. The tiny territory on Spain's southern tip depends greatly on access to the EU market for its 34,000 inhabitants. The British government said the agreement 'resolves the last major unresolved issue from Brexit,' while Spanish Foreign Minister José Albares said that 'a deal regarding Gibraltar is now a reality,' calling it historic. The deal would involve removing all physical barriers, checks and controls on people and goods circulating between Spain and Gibraltar, the EU said in a statement. At the same time, it would respect Europe's free travel zone rules and the EU single market. The statement said the pact 'will bring confidence and legal certainty to the lives and well-being of the people of the whole region by promoting shared prosperity and close and constructive relations between the Gibraltar and Spanish authorities.' A major sticking point has been who controls Gibraltar's airport. The U.K. and Gibraltar had resisted Spain's insistence that Spanish border officials be based at the airport, which is also home to a Royal Air Force base. Checks would now be done much like they are for the Eurostar train stations in London and Paris. Šefčovič said that dual Gibraltar and EU checks would be carried out at Gibraltar's airport and port. An agreement was also reached Wednesday for visas and travel permits. The U.K. said that half Gibraltar's population crosses the border each day and that without an agreement, new EU entry-exit rules mean every one would have to have their passports checked. The British government hailed the deal as a win in Prime Minister Keir Starmer's attempt to reset relations with the EU, five years after the U.K.'s acrimonious departure from the bloc. The U.K. said the agreement 'does not impact sovereignty' and ensures 'full operational autonomy of the U.K.'s military facilities in Gibraltar.' Albares said the deal marked 'a new beginning' in the relationship between the U.K. and Spain. He said that Spain 'will guarantee free movement of people and goods,' adding that Gibraltar would now be linked to Europe's free travel zone known as the Schengen Area with Spanish authorities controling entry and exit. 'It's going to benefit overwhelmingly the 15,000 people who move every day from Gibraltar to Campo del Gibraltar,' Albares said, referring to the area neighboring Gibraltar in southern Spain. Gibraltar Chief Minister Fabian Picardo also hailed the agreement and said it 'will bring legal certainty to the people of Gibraltar, its businesses and to those across the region who rely on stability at the frontier.' Cook, Lawless and Naishadham write for the Associated Press. Lawless reported from London and Naishadham from Madrid, Spain.

Starbucks Is Hiring a 'Coffee-Obsessed' Content Creator
It's the last week to apply for a coffee and travel "dream job." Starbucks is hiring a global coffee creator to travel the world, tell the company's story, presumably drink lots of coffee — and get paid six figures for it. The "coffee-obsessed" Global Coffee Creator will work on a one-year contract, traveling the world (the job posting lists Milan, Tokyo, Colombia, Dubai, and Costa Rica) to capture the "vibes, culture, and people" of all things coffee-related. Related: Starbucks Is Hiring a Pilot to Captain Its Company Aircraft. Here's How Much It Pays. Starbucks is pitching the role as "more than a job; it's your chance to immerse yourself in the world of coffee, meet new people, and see new places." The position requires someone who can create social content that highlights menu items and specialty drinks from 10 to 15 designated Starbucks locations across the globe. Travel costs are provided by Delta Air Lines and Marriott Bonvoy, per the Starbucks blog. The pay range is listed at $80,100 to $136,000 for the one-year contract. Hopeful applicants are required to submit a TikTok video with their application. To apply, you must be at least 18 years old, a U.S. resident, and have a valid passport. Proficiency in social media platforms, such as TikTok and Instagram, is important, as is experience using design software (Photoshop, InDesign, Final Cut Pro, and CapCut), per the listing. The role is fully remote, and the posting says applicants can work from anywhere, though we'd assume being close to an international airport would be helpful. Applicants have until June 14 to apply.
