Orpington Local Information

In the London Borough of Bromley, Orpington is a suburban town with an extensive high street and large retail outlets on the outskirts of the town.

In 1868, the South Eastern Railway opened linking the town with Central London and Sevenoaks. This started a boom in housing as wealthy businessmen from the city came here in search of housing. This continued on when the line was widened in 1904 and Orpington train station was rebuilt with six platforms. As a result of this, the majority of housing in Orpington is from the 1920’s and 1930’s when the town saw major housing development.

Orpington train station is linked to Charing Cross, Cannon Street, Waterloo East, London Bridge and Victoria. The town also has major bus links into the centre of London. These fantastic transport links make Orpington a popular place for commuters to live.

During World War 2, the town was subject to extensive bombing due to its location on the flight path to London, as well as it’s proximity to Biggin Hill aerodrome. Housing development continued after the war with the construction of a large council street.

Stone Age tools have been found in numerous places in Orpington, including Goddington Park, the Ramsden estate and Priory Gardens. Bronze Age pottery pieces have also been unearthed in the Park Avenue area and in 1956, during the building of the Ramsden Boys School, the remains of a farmstead were uncovered.

Orpington is known for numerous things, including the chickens bred locally and the Orpington Car which was showcased at the 1920 Motor Show. The town has been regularly featured on TV on a Honda Civic advert, Eurostar advert, The Simpsons, Kodak advert and several times on The Bill.
