RAF Kenley

Kenley airfield played a unique and important role in Britain’s history. As the UK’s most complete surviving Battle of Britain fighter airfield, it gives us a direct and tangible link to our aviation past. As an active airfield today, it builds on that heritage, whilst the surrounding environs provide us with a site of nature conservation and a protected public open space. It's a great place to walk or cycle for all ages. Eight of the original blast pens can be seen, one of which has been restored and contains The Tribute, a memorial to all who served at RAF Kenley. It also still has its original runways in their original configuration. It's always open and free to visit. On weekdays in fine weather, visitors can watch Surrey Hills Gliding Club take to the air at Kenley, as pilots have done for the last 102 years.
