Crofton Roman Villa, Archaeological site in Orpington, United Kingdom.
The villa contains ten preserved rooms from the Roman period, including tessellated floors and remains of an underfloor heating system called hypocaust.
Between 140 and 400 AD, this villa operated as the center of a farming estate spanning 500 acres with fields, meadows, and woodland areas.
The remains of Crofton Roman Villa demonstrate the agricultural methods and architectural techniques employed by Romans in southeastern Britain during their occupation.
The site stands adjacent to Orpington railway station and will undergo refurbishment by Bromley Council throughout 2024.
Among all Roman villas discovered within Greater London boundaries, Crofton represents the only one accessible for public viewing.
