Moving to Biggin Hill in the
Borough of Bromley?
If you're think about moving to Biggin Hill,
here are some key facts: Biggin Hill is in the
London
Borough of Bromley in London. It lies on the
Bromley to Westerham road (A233).
The earliest record dates back to the Norman
invasion, when the area (then known as the parish
of "cowdom") was given as a gift by
William the conqueror to his half brother Odo,
Bishop of Bayeux, in thanks for having commissioned
the Bayeux tapestry.
The name Biggin Hill is of recent origin. From
small beginnings Biggin Hill gradually grew in
size as people wanted to move out from the centre
of towns into the countryside.
In 1918 the Royal Air Force built an aerodrome
on the high ground in Biggin Hill. RAF Biggin
Hill was the home airbase of the first aircraft
to take part in air to ground radio communications,
and of the first British aircraft to shoot down
a German aircraft in World War II. It was a crucial
RAF Sector airfield during the Battle of Britain.
It is now London
Biggin Hill Airport, the home of the Biggin
Hill Air Show.
