The Old Jail Pub closed in February 2023 and was put up for sale by Star Pubs – who owned and managed it.
This Grade II listed pub has been part of the Bromley scene for the last 200 years, made from two Kentish cottages dating back to the 18th century, according to CAMRA.
Despite its name, the pub is not believed to have actually been used as a jail and was believed to have been a stop off point for prisoners being transported to London.
The pub has been a popular drinking spot for locals with one reviewer – Phil Tuffers – writing on Google: “The Old jail in Biggin Hill is a genuinely old English pub with excellent food and a good selection of drinks.”
Fleurents told the News Shopper that the pub is set to go on the market later this week and any prospective buyers are urged to contact them for further information.
In a statement, Star Pubs said that the pub offers “great potential” for owners to “breathe new life” into this pub for the Bromley community.
A spokesperson for Star Pubs said: “We regularly review our estate to ensure we have the right pubs in the right locations. We have identified The Old Jail as a pub which does not fit within our leased and tenanted business model and have therefore taken the decision to sell.
“The pub offers great potential to the right owner who can invest into the property and breathe new life into it for the benefit of the whole community. If anyone is interested in buying the pub please contact our retained agent, Simon Bland at Fleurets.”
