==Geography== The borough is the largest in Greater London by area and occupies {{convert|59|sqmi|km2|0}}. The majority of the borough is [[Metropolitan Green Belt]], including nearly all of the land south of the A232-A21 route between West Wickham and Pratt's Bottom.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://londongreenbeltcouncil.org.uk/threats_map/|title=Map of Current Threats to Londonβs Green Belt β London Green Belt Council|website=londongreenbeltcouncil.org.uk}}</ref> Consequently, it is also perhaps the most rural borough and contains more of the [[North Downs]] than any other, as that escarpment is broad between Bromley and Banstead. This is also reflected in its population density, which is the lowest of the 32 London boroughs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/land-area-and-population-density-ward-and-borough|title = Land Area and Population Density, Ward and Borough β London Datastore}}</ref> Most of the population lives in the north and west of the borough, with an outlier at [[Biggin Hill]] in the far south. The borough shares borders with the London Boroughs of [[London Borough of Lewisham|Lewisham]] and [[Royal Borough of Greenwich|Greenwich]] to the north, [[London Borough of Bexley|Bexley]] to the north-east, [[London Borough of Southwark|Southwark]] and [[London Borough of Lambeth|Lambeth]] to the north-west, and [[London Borough of Croydon|Croydon]] to the west. It also borders the [[Sevenoaks District]] of [[Kent]] to the east and south, and the [[Tandridge District]] of [[Surrey]] to the south-west. [[Westerham Heights]], the [[List of highest points in London|highest point in London]] and Kent at an altitude of {{convert|804|ft|m}}, is on the southern boundary. The [[Prime Meridian]] passes through Bromley. About 30% of the land in Bromley is farmland, the highest figure of a London borough.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.capitalgrowth.org/big_idea/facts_figures/|title=Capital Growth: Facts and figures about food growing and farming in and around London|website=www.capitalgrowth.org|access-date=25 April 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150330215755/http://www.capitalgrowth.org/big_idea/facts_figures/|archive-date=30 March 2015}}</ref>
