Biggin Hill Memorial Museum tells the story of RAF Biggin Hill through the personal experiences of those who served there and the community who supported them. RAF Biggin Hill’s high altitude and strategically important location between London and continental Europe, destined it to become the most important airfield of the Battle of Britain, laying the foundation for the European landscape as we know it today.
One of Britain’s oldest aerodromes, RAF Biggin Hill is still internationally recognized as Sir Winston Churchill’s ‘strongest link’. The objects in the museum collection are directly associated with the people who served at RAF Biggin Hill. They include uniforms, medals, personal letters, documents, and even furniture from the local pub. The collection also includes objects related to remembrance and memorial and the founding of the two chapels at the airfield from 1943-1951. Situated on the same site as St George Chapel of Remembrance a visit encompasses both museum and Chapel.
