Biggin Hill Memorial Museum – now open
In October 2017, works began on site to develop the site of St George’s RAF Chapel of Remembrance, bringing the chapel together with the long-awaited museum, to create the Biggin Hill Memorial Museum. The project has only been made possible by funders and supporters. Since 2015, the Biggin Hill Memorial Museum Trust has worked with Bromley Council to raise over £5.3 million to make the museum a reality. Funding has been secured from the National Lottery, HM Treasury and Bromley Council, with support from individual donors and smaller organisations.
