Here at Biggin Hill Memorial Museum, we tell the story of Britain's most famous fighter station through the personal experiences of those who served there, and the community that supported them. The museum is situated on the same site as St George's RAF Chapel of Remembrance, built in 1951 to preserve the legacy of those who served and died at Biggin Hill during the Second World War.
The museum safeguards the future of this important building. Yesterday we were very pleased to welcome former WAAF Pat (Patricia) Clack, nee Gibbons and her daughter Val. Pat was based at RAF. Join Andy (BHMM volunteer) this Wednesday for his talk about the life of Winston Churchill and his role in developing.

My heart can't really express how I feel, they say you can only value what you have a great deal when you get it. I have traded with a few other managers desperately and I lost. I heard binaryoptiontrade is changing lives but I never had one until I come across Mrs Lauren I received my first profit from her, I could not still believe it up till today I converted the bitcoins into cash, it's amazing now my story has changed through one single investment with Mrs Lauren. You can contact her through WhatsApp: +15024832159 Email: jordanlauren783@gmail.com

Visited in the summer but worst military museum we have ever visited. What a shame such a wonderful historic site has been given such a clinical treatment! Except for a few items it is certainly not worth visiting. Also had the awful gender neutral toilets. Would not let my husband leave the the communal handwashing area until I had exited the cubical. This has definitely had the woke treatment. The Chapel is the one thing worth visiting. Beautiful and takes your breath away as you feel so linked to the brave men who served here. This and the spitfire landing as we exited the Chapel made it worth

We visited this little museum this morning and found it very disappointing. There was not much to see at all and I found it very overpriced. Although the website clearly says that Standard entry is £5 and Gift Aid entry is £6 we were given no choice and charged £6 each - rather naughty. If you wish to see a proper Battle of Britain Museum then I would recommend RAF Manston, which we visited a few days ago. Lots to see there and free entry, voluntary donations.

A very nice visit to the museum and chapel. It's a small museum but still has alot of information to read and items to look at. Cost of entry is very reasonable and the cafe is very nice. No hot food during summer but a nice selection of cakes! Staff are friendly and helpful. Will definitely go again.
