Parking
This is a quiet residential road, so parking for any length of time is not advisable. There are car parks in Bromley Town Centre, in the Waitrose is probably the nearest one.
Public transport
Take a bus from Bromley town centre towards Bromley Common. The 61, 208, 261, 336, 358 or 402 all provide this service. This is a 2 minute journey. Get off near the Halfords, and walk back until you reach Wendover Road.
Take a train to Bromley South. When you come out of the station, turn left. You should see a Waitrose. Keep walking until you reach the top of the incline. Turn right and walk towards the Halfords. Before you reach there, there is a side road called Wendover Road. Turn left into Wendover Road and the bridge is a 3 minute walk away. The foot bridge is located to the south of the road bridge. This is essentially a small fence and nobody should have a problem seeing over it. There is no footpath facing towards Bromley South Station.

Photographic notes
Light is pretty good. Example shots were taken at 11:30am in June, but was a cloudy day, so the sun was not a problem. Really, you should only shoot trains coming from the south, as there is no footpath facing towards the station. But, the road is not a busy one. The trees may generate a gentle wind, but not a big problem for videographers.
