  • London Loop. Section 3 of 24
    Transport for London. London Loop. Section 3 of 24. Jubilee Country Park to Gates Green Road, Wickham Common. Section start: Jubilee Country Park. Nearest station Petts Wood to start: Section finish: Gates Green Road, Wickham Common. Nearest station Hayes (Kent) to finish: Section distance: 9 miles (14.5 kilometres). Introduction. This section of the LOOP passes through attractive countryside with strong links to Charles Darwin who described the countryside around the village of Downe as 'the extreme verge of the world'. The walking is generally easy, but with a few longish, steep slopes, stiles and kissing gates and some small flights of steps. Much of it is through commons, parks and along tracks. There are cafes and pubs at many places along the way and you can picnic at High Elms, where there are also public toilets. The walk starts at Jubilee Country Park and finishes at Hayes station. There are several bus routes along this walk. Continues Continues on next page Directions. To get to the start of this walk from Petts Wood station exit on the West Approach side of the station and turn right at the T-junction with Queensway. Follow the street until it curves round to the left, and carry straight on down Crest View Drive. Take Tent Peg Lane on the right and keep to the footpath through the trees to the left of the car park. After 100 metres enter Jubilee Country Park, and join the LOOP. From the car park on Tent Peg Lane enter the park and at the junction of several paths and go through the gate on the left and follow the metalled path for about 150 metres, then branch left.

  • Petts Wood and District RA (773).Pdf
    Sadiq Khan Mayor of London Greater London Authority City Hall London SE1 28 February 2018 Dear Mr Khan/GLA Draft New London Plan team, Re: Draft New London Plan I write in my capacity as the planning representative for the Petts Wood & District Residents’ Association (PWDRA). By way of information, PWDRA represents over 3000 households in the Petts Wood & District areas of the London Borough of Bromley. The full PWDRA committee discussed aspects of the Draft New London Plan (DNLP) at out last committee meeting on 7 February 2018. As a result of our discussions, PWDRA would like to register our strong objection to certain aspects of the DNLP. Our concerns centre upon the following aspects: 1. The removal of protection for garden land. 2. The lack of protection afforded to Areas of Special Residential Character. 3. The presumption in favour of small housing development for proposals (up to 25 units) within 800 metres of a transport hub/town centre. 4. Medium residential growth potential identified for Petts Wood I will outline the PWDRA objections to each one of these points. 1. The removal of protection for garden land (Policy D4/Policy H2) This would appear to be contrary to the National Planning Framework. Secondly, in terms of our area, this would run contrary to the local designation of large areas of Petts Wood being designated an Area of Special Residential Character(ASRC) by Bromley Council. Petts Wood is Bromley Borough’s largest ASRC, designated in 1990 (please see attachments – Petts Wood ASRC descriptions from Bromley Council’s current UDP (2006) and Draft Local Plan (2017)).

  • A British Summer Time Walk
    Bromley Pub Walks A British Summer Time Walk Chislehurst to Petts Wood Station A walk through National Trust woods and farmland, focused on William Willett, the campaigner for daylight saving time. William Willett (1856-1915) the campaigner for ‘daylight saving time’ lived for much of his life in Chislehurst. Although he did not survive to see daylight saving become law, he is generally credited with bringing the idea to public attention. He is buried in St Nicholas' Churchyard in Chislehurst, there is a memorial sundial in Petts Wood (that’s the actual wood, not the suburb) and of course there is also the Daylight Inn near Petts Wood Station. Also in Petts Wood there is a road called Willett Way, and the Willett Recreation Ground. It’s possible to take a pleasant two and a quarter mile walk from Chislehurst War Memorial to Petts Wood Station (or vice-versa) which takes you past his grave, the memorial sundial and the Daylight Inn. Most of the walk is through National Trust woods and farmland. In addition to the Grade II Listed Daylight Inn, there is also the opportunity to visit the two other pubs and a club in Petts Wood, plus the many pubs in Chislehurst, two of which are directly on this walking route. In the subsequent pages we describe the route, using the standard ‘Bromley Pub Walks’ format, plus we’ve also included some photographs taken along the route. Petts Wood and Hawkwood are owned and managed by the National Trust, and most of the former Hawkwood estate is still a working farm.

  • Walking the 'Willett Way'
    ����������������������������������� ����������������������������������� Walking the ‘Willett Way’ Walking tours around Willett-land ��������������������������� ������������������������������ ����������������������� David Rooney ������������������������������ �������������������������������� ���������������������������� ��������������������������� ������������������������� ������������������������� ������������� ������ Written to accompany the exhibition ‘Spring Forward: 100 Years of British Summer Time’ March – November 2007 ������ Introduction 2007 marks 100 years since the idea of British Summer Time was first seriously proposed – by William Willett (1856–1915), a house-builder and horse-rider who settled in Chislehurst, Kent. It is also the 80th anniversary of the unveiling of a William Willett memorial, set among the trees and ferns of Petts Wood, a few miles from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. British Summer Time – or Daylight Saving Time as it is known elsewhere – affects all of us. Yet few people know that it originated in the suburbs of south-east London, or that its creator was responsible for important housing developments across the capital and in other places. The two walks described in this booklet reveal the hidden history of William Willett, his life and the work of his building firm. They also show what happened after his death in 1915 and how local people recognized and commemorated his achievements. For by the 1920s, William Willett had become a posthumous hero, with more and more people backing the daylight-saving plan
