The Chapel is not a museum, but a Museum is being built around it. It is now owned by the London Borough of Bromley and closed for renovation and building works in September 2017.
When it opens again, it will be a living Chapel again, with a communities that worship each week, with both Roman Catholic and Anglican/Free Church services.

Sir Winston S Churchill:
'My personal association with Biggin Hill during the Battle of Britain lives in my mind. As a nation we have short memories and it is well that Memorials such as this should bring to our remembrance the cost of victory in the days when one of our fighter pilots had to be worth ten. They died without seeing the reward of their efforts; we live to hold their reward inviolate and unfading".
"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few"
