A little history
RAF Stanmore — at Bentley Priory — was the headquarters of Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain in 1940. Air Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding directed the defence of Britain from here. The Bentley Priory Museum tells this extraordinary story. Canons Park provides local parkland.
Bentley Priory Battle of Britain Museum is genuinely excellent — the Dowding System and the Battle of Britain story. Canons Park for green space. The Jubilee Line for central London.
