Biggin Hill is a town in the London Borough of Bromley, about 15.2 miles (24.5 km) south-southeast of Charing Cross.

Biggin Hill is one of the highest points of Greater London, rising to over 210 metres (690 ft) above sea level.

[3][4] A small section remains in the care of the RAF, and the Grade II listed chapel[5] (guarded by replicas of the station gate guardians, a Hawker Hurricane and a Supermarine Spitfire) is open to the public.

[6] The old "south camp" is now occupied by the Biggin Hill Business Park, Airport Industrial Estate and various private flying clubs.

There are further commercial premises, hangars, private flying clubs and a helicopter joy-ride and pilot training centre to the east of the main runway.

The airport is host to a wide range of private and business jet and turbo-prop aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 737.

[8] Biggin Hill is the location of a VOR-DME navigational beacon, codenamed "BIG", which anchors the South East Arrival Stack for London Heathrow Airport.

The airport was the venue of the Biggin Hill International Air Fair, an annual airshow that usually took place towards the end of June.

The area is represented by the Biggin Hill ward, which according to the 2011 UK census had a population of 9,951 and a density of 12 people per hectare.
