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…'
