Orpington

Orpington’s history stretches back to Anglo-Saxon times, originally recorded as "Orpedingetune," meaning ‘Orped’s farmstead’. The town developed around its medieval church and priory, later growing with the arrival of the railway in the Victorian era and becoming famous as the birthplace of the Orpington chicken breed.

Orpington has a rich history and blends suburban streets with leafy green spaces. Priory Gardens and Goddington Park are popular for walks, picnics and seasonal community events, offering residents a chance to enjoy the outdoors. The high street features a variety of shops and services, whilst cultural attractions such as the Priory Museum showcase the town’s heritage. The Walnuts Shopping Centre, which also hosts the Orpington Market, is a popular community destination.
