The museum is open Tues-Sun and entry for adults is £6.50, and for families £15. Sadly, I just didn’t get the feeling that it’s a destination museum that justifies the effort of getting there.

A bit expensive for the museum alone, and although the chapel is free to visit, if you bundle them together, it’s OK. The recently renamed RAF Biggin Hill Museum & Chapel is OK to visit. There’s also a good exhibition in the room next door about the women who served at RAF Biggin Hill and that tells a not told often enough story of how women weren’t just making cups of tea and working in factories but were flying aircraft and earning equal respect to their male colleagues. It’s a chapel for remembrance of those who died in service, but it’s a beautiful one.

Lots of military regalia fill the low-lying space and the stained glass windows are marvellous. There’s some, but it’s quite thin gruel in delivering that magical sensation you get when you stand in the presence of history itself.įortunately, there is something interesting to see, and that’s the chapel next door, which is a post-war replacement for the chapel bombed during the war - and looks the part. This is a modern building so the building isn’t that historic, and there’s very little of the actual heritage from the airfield at war on display. For the museum to be a destination to visit it needs to add that magic miasma of experience and seeing tangible objects. Telling the story of the people that make a place is critical, but if that’s all the museum is, then you are better of sitting at home and reading a good book about it. It’s mostly display boards and not much in the way of actual objects to look at. However, despite all that, the museum left me feeling a bit cold. I learned that there had been an official newspaper for prisoners of war and the meaning behind the Cock Squadron. There are a lot of very interesting stories being told here, from its use in developing early wireless communications to the first Sikh and Indian to serve in any flying service in the world - and was based at Biggin Hill during WWI. It’s mostly filled with display boards telling the history of how the airfield became such an important site for the defence of London and the stories of the many people who worked and served there. The museum is a paid venue, and although it’s attached to the chapel, the chapel and its exhibition are somewhere you can visit for free.
