Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Swanley

Swanley Worktop Information

Swanley is a town in the London Borough of Bromley in Kent, sitting just south of the M25 at junction 3, about 18 miles south-east of central London. The housing stock is predominantly post-war semis and terraces in BR8, with some newer development around the town centre. Swanley is positioned on the boundary between London and Kent, which gives businesses based here access to both the Greater London and the wider Kent market. Global Granite at Leydenhatch Lane in BR8 is the sole listed business for Swanley. They have 17 reviews at 4.6 stars and operate from a rural lane address on the edge of the town, which is typical of a stone cutting and fabrication business that needs space and vehicle access rather than a shopfront.
