Bromley & Beckenham Hockey Club is a field hockey club based at Foxgrove Road, Beckenham. It is a combination of two former London clubs Bromley and Beckenham. The club plays the majority of its fixtures at Langley Park School for Girls in Beckenham. In addition the hockey pitches at Langley Park School for Boys, Bromley School in Bickley, and Trinity School in Croydon are also used.[1]

The club runs nine men's senior teams, six women's teams and junior teams. The men's first X1 play in the Men's South Hockey League Premier Division 1.[2] The women's first X1 play in the East Hockey League Premier Division.[3]
