Biggin Hill Memorial Museum — Attraction in London

Wonderful museum. When we went there were some stalls and events going on which really brought it to life (2021-12-11). The cafe was exquisite and there was a man called Paul there doing the parking who gave such a friendly welcome! Really recommend!

Edit (2022-09-29): I came back here more recently, around a year later, to see the D-Day Darlings perform and had another wonderful day. We went to the cafe before hand for lunch (which was excellent!) and there was Paul again! After the lunch he told us all about the Merlin engine, the airport and what it's used for now, previous hangers and other historical details. What a knowledgeable man! They're updating some of their displays and exhibitions at the moment, so well worth another visit if you've been before.

Edit (2023-03-14) returned here as they have changed many of their displays and added a really immersive air raid shelter section with an actual metal shelter and a panoramic projected informational video. Was very impressed with the new stuff, well worth a return visit if you haven't been here in recent months.

I had the "dam buster" - look at the pictures I've attached for the detail of the planes and bomb giving it a really special themed touch. Even the coffee had a plane on top...

She had a bacon Caesar salad, which was really good and a large portion. 3 rashers of v.crispy bacon, salad leaves, green beans, and sprinkled with cheese. And the most delicious garlic bread. I had the cheese ploughmans. Huge! A baguette, lovely cheese, pickles, salad, and watermelon. Grapes or celery or maybe a small apple would be better than melon, though. But why add walnuts, chilli sauce on the side, and peas in the salad??! Otherwise, a great ploughmans and some cheese to take home too. The menu includes pizza and salad, salads, and a spitfire sandwich with chicken. But more vegetarian options are needed, maybe tuna or something with halloiumi? It was a nice chilled out afternoon with lunch and watching the spitfires. We also visited the Chapel afterwards to see the stained...
