Biggin Hill, Residential district with historic airfield in London Borough of Bromley, England
Biggin Hill extends across elevated terrain 15 miles southeast of central London, featuring residential areas interspersed with green spaces and an active airport.
The Royal Air Force station at Biggin Hill played a central role during World War II, with its fighter squadrons claiming 1,400 enemy aircraft while losing 453 aircrew members.
St George's Chapel of Remembrance, constructed in 1951, contains memorials to fallen airmen and stands near replicas of Hurricane and Spitfire aircraft.
The area connects to London through bus services to Hayes railway station, while the local airport specializes in private and business aviation operations.
The All Saints Church building traveled from Peckham to Biggin Hill in the 1950s, reconstructed brick by brick in its new location.
