If you finish early and want a bit more, the Crofton Woods circular walk is nearby and worth doing. It's about 10-12 mins walk from Petts Wood station, just to the south west. Go along Queensway, left onto Ryecroft then right onto Shepperton Rd to the recreation ground.
A map of Crofton Woods can be found at https://www.bromleyparks.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Crofton_Woods_Circular_Trail.pdf
n=18 walkers turned up in w=overcast skies. About 12 had lunch in the Bull's Head after which the group splintered in unknown number of subgroups and all further proceedings are lost to history.
