Hayes Common, Public land in Hayes, London Borough of Bromley, England
Hayes Common encompasses 79 hectares of protected land featuring woodland, heath environments, bridleways, and footpaths throughout its natural landscape.
The site gained protection in 1869 as the first common safeguarded under the Metropolitan Commons Act 1866, following local opposition to residential development plans.
The London May Queen crowning ceremony takes place at Hayes Common, maintaining a tradition that spans over one hundred years of community celebrations.
Visitors can enter Hayes Common through multiple access points including Baston Road, Five Elms Road, Croydon Road, and West Common Road.
Archaeological excavations at Hayes Common revealed artifacts from the late-Neolithic period alongside Bronze Age ditches, pits, and post holes.
