Description
Biggin Hill Memorial Museum's history starts from over 100 years ago and tells the story of RAF Biggin Hill through the personal experiences of those who served there, and the community which supported them. Its high altitude and strategically important location between London and continental Europe, make it one of Britain’s oldest aerodromes. Its particular focus is the Battle of Britain, in which it played a pivotal role.
Lots to see and do, with exhibitions, and the St George’s RAF Chapel of Remembrance, built as a memorial to the aircrew who lost their lives flying from the Biggin Hill Sector during World War II. It was built in 1951 after a fundraising campaign led by Sir Winston Churchill. Visitors can also pick up a free walking trail that focuses on the places that are still connected with the history of RAF Biggin Hill.
