What it is
Museum tags: History; Niche history; History; World War Two; Military history
Tells the story of Biggin Hill, “the most important airfield during the Battle of Britain”. It includes personal stories, chapel memorial, and modern interactive displays for all ages. Opening hours change seasonally – visit website.
Biggin Hill played an outsized role during the Battle of Britain, helping to protect London and being described by Churchill as our ‘strongest link’.
The museum feels modern and informative, and there’s a memorial church and garden nearby which is worth popping into.
Oh, and the cafe is excellent – possibly the best museum cafe in London, and named Nightingale Cafe in honour of the original cafe on the site, which was originally a civilian cafe that became part of the RAF enclave once war was declared.
