Biggin Hill — is it a good place to live?

Biggin Hill offers walkable green space most comparable areas can't match — the trade-off is the independent scene, which runs thinner here than across the city.

Trade-offs

Further trade-offs: culture and leisure, which score toward the bottom of the London range; village feel, which this area does not score as having; and schools, where good-rated state options are scarcer than in much of London.

The nearest station is Chelsfield (National Rail), a long way on foot from the area's centre — the journey to the train is a real part of daily life here.
