Public Houses
Following the conversion of the Keston Mark to residential accommodation, Keston has three pubs. The Two Doves in Oakley Road lies between the village and Bromley Common, with the remaining two being in the village itself and within sight of each other; The Fox Inn on Heathfield Road and the Greyhound on Commonside. The latter is well-known locally as the venue for the Boxing Day performance of the local Morris Dancing side, the Ravensbourne Morris Men who have performed there, collecting for charity, since a visit in 1963 to Keston by Richard Chamberlain.
