Notes

London Fire Brigade Biggin Hill Fire Station was constructed and opened in 1939 by the Kent Fire Brigade.

The station was built to replace the existing Kent Fire Brigade station on Main Road that had become life expired.

With the formation of the Greater London Council and the redrawing of boundaries, the station passed to the ownership of the London Fire Brigade in 1965.

Due to safety concerns about the narrow appliance bays at the station, permission was granted in 2020 to build a new appliance bay to the side of the current station, with works being completed in late 2023.
