Spring Park is remnant ancient woodland and meadowland now within the West Wickham and Coulsdon Commons group managed by the Corporation of London. Once part of the much larger West Wickham manorial estate, owned by the Lennard family from the C16th, the site was conveyed to the Corporation in 1926 and 1927 to be held in perpetuity as public open space. Accessible from Spring Park is Cheyne Wood, which from 1901 was part of private landscaped grounds of Stramshall Lodge, formerly within the manorial lands. From 1927-50 this was the Children's Heart Hospital and from 1957-89 became part of Cheyne Hospital. After the hospital closed most of the grounds were built over apart from this remainder of the former landscaped woodland where badger setts were found, which was acquired by Bromley Council in 2004.

The parish of St George Beckenham was previously in Kent. Although a church on the site was not recorded until 1070, there was probably a church here in some form in Saxon times. The current church dates from 1885-7, built when a larger church was needed for the growing parish. A good collection of monuments from the old church remains including those of the C16th; among C18th memorials are those for prominent local dignitaries. The tree-filled churchyard, which has a restored C13th lych gate, was extended to the east between 1871-1894.

St George's Church was built in 1863-5 to serve the new Bickley Park Estate being developed by George Wythes. The land was formerly part of the estate of William Dent, Chairman of the Mid-Kent Railway Company. Wythes' estate is a good example of suburban development built for the upper classes after the railway brought greater access to the capital. The churchyard is largely grass, with wooden crosses and a WWI war memorial, and contains a number of mature trees including a large Holm oak, yew and other trees. Despite adjoining a busy road to the south, the churchyard's trees and boundary hedge give a quiet shaded aspect.

A church has existed here for centuries, but the date of its dedication to St Giles the Abbot is unknown although in 1292 the village of Farnborough was granted licence by the King to hold a weekly market and an annual fair on the Feast of St Giles. The churchyard may have been in use as a burial ground from as early as 1000 AD and it has been extended a number of times over the years as the need for more burial space arose. There are interesting tombstones in the churchyard, the oldest dating from 1725. the Lubbock Cross commemorates the Lubbock family who lived at High Elms. The Garden of Remembrance was established in 1956.

St John the Baptist Church, West Wickham, is a medieval church probably extended or partially rebuilt at the behest of Sir Henry Heydon (d.1504), who purchased the manor in 1469, building Wickham Court as his house. The churchyard has tombs set among grass with a number of trees, and a path leads to the church from the restored C15th lych-gate at the entrance.

From 1837 Penge only had a chapel and was part of the parish of Battersea. In 1848 local landowner John Dudin Brown, who was also a freeman of the Company of Watermen, donated a plot of land for a new church and St John the Evangelist was built and consecrated in 1850. The church is surrounded by a garden with mature trees on the perimeter.

St John's Cottages are a philanthropic development of 12 cottages built in the 1860s as two short terraces and two sets of pairs, which were originally separated by a roadway. This was removed in 1959/60 to become a communal garden, simply laid out as lawn with two flower and shrub beds.

St Luke's Cemetery opened in 1894. There is a small chapel and memorial garden.

The old village of Chelsfield and its parish church of St Martin of Tours have existed here since at least the C12th. The church is now somewhat isolated from the village following the building of the Orpington Bypass in the 1920s. The churchyard has been used for burial for some 900 years with burial records existing from the C16th. Most burials did not have burial markers and the earliest surviving gravestones are late C18th.

St Mary Cray Cemetery opened in 1881(1884?) and has a chapel at the entrance amid mature trees, although the lodge at the entrance gate has since been demolished. There is a WWII War Graves Plot and WAFS of Biggin Hill are buried here. St Mary Cray Churchyard is to the west of the cemetery.

St Mary Cray is a flint church with some remnants of the C13th and C14th but the building was later restored in 1861-3, 1876 and 1895. Although the old village is much changed as a result of post-war development, the parish still includes farmland and open countryside, and the River Cray still runs near the church and its old churchyard. A Portland stone WWI War Memorial is in the churchyard.

St Mary the Virgin Church and its churchyard in the village of Downe date from around 1291 and while the church has gained a tower since then the churchyard is probably little altered. Of the many noteworthy residents of Downe, Charles Darwin is undoubtedly the most famous and lived nearby from 1842 until his death in 1882. Darwin, who was buried in Westminster Abbey, is commemorated by a sundial and plaque on the tower, but his wife Emma and other members of the family are buried in the churchyard. Among the trees in the churchyard is an ancient yew.
