An image from the archive collection of Croydon’s local studies library: 1940, and an RAF Hurricane paid for in war bonds bought in Croydon
Learn about RAF Kenley’s significant Battle of Britain history and hear about the people that served at Kenley and how the Kenley Revival Project have conserved and preserved the site.
The event is outdoors and therefore suitable clothing must be worn. Surfaces may be uneven and slippery. The route, which is around two miles long, will be a mixture of surfaced path and grass and therefore suitable footwear must be worn.
There will be two time slots for this tour: 10.30am-12.30pm and 1.30pm-3.30pm.
There is no parking available on site and the organisers would encourage you to travel by public transport. Limited parking is available on Hayes Lane which is closest to the RAF Kenley Tribute, the starting point of the walk.
There are no toilet or refreshment facilities available.
