Farthing Street meets Bogey Lane Bogey Lane is an ancient sunken trackway which is followed here by the London LOOP between Keston and High Elms. It can become very muddy so the official advice is to follow the field edge path just uphill to the south. In this photograph the start of Bogey Lane is seen from Farthing Street. It is hard to believe that this remote path is still in Greater London but in fact it is in the London Borough of Bromley.
