Retail and commerce The High Street and adjacent Walnuts Shopping Centre contain a wide selection of high-street shops. There is a general market located in front of Orpington College, three days a week. Planning permission was granted in 2005 to demolish a multistorey car park at the south end of the High Street, and replace it with a large Tesco supermarket. Work started at the beginning of February 2007 and since then the car park has been fully demolished and work on the foundations has started reusing the concrete from the demolished car park. The new Tesco is due to open in 2009/2010. Metered parking has been installed at various street locations around Orpington station to cope with the loss of the car park This has resulted in the exit of long-established local businesses as the office space they occupied will no longer be feasible without adequate parking.

These crops attracted Romani people, working as itinerant pickers, to annual camps in local meadows and worked out chalk pits. This work has largely ended, but the Borough still provides a permanent site at Star Lane, and the gatherings are commemorated in local street names, such as Romany Rise. In 1967, Eric Lubbock, then liberal MP for Orpington promoted a private member's bill to provide permanent Gypsy sites, this resulted in the Caravan Sites Act 1968 that placed an obligation upon local authorities to provide sites for locally residing travellers.[2] In 1971, an international meeting of Romany people was held at Orpington, this Orpington Congress marked the founding of the International Romany Union, a group seeking political representation for Romanis throughout Europe[3].

Romany History Orpington (along with Erith) was a major site for the Romani people [17], who were attracted by Kent's many hop and fruit farms. Stopping areas (or 'Atchin Tan') included Corkes Meadow [18] and Corkes Pit [19](near the site of the Sevenoaks Road gasworks in St Mary Cray), as well as Ruxley Pit, at the top of Chalk Pit Avenue. Romany families stopped at Corkes Pit from all over the UK until the 1960s, when the hop farms started to use machinery or labour from abroad. , Erith (pronounced ) is a place in the London Borough of Bexley, south east London on the River Thames, United Kingdom. ...

The council still had to provide permanent stopping areas, which is why Star Lane remains one of the largest Romany sites in the UK. As seasonal farm work dried up the men started to look for local labouring work and many families settled near the old Corkes Pit on Leeson's Hill.
Famous Romanies from Orpington include Gypsy Rose Lee (not to be confused with the American entertainer), [20] [Gilderoy Scamp] [21][22][23], Jonny Love, Private Walter Pateman [24] and Henry Jackson [25].

The Priory The Priory is a fine example of a medieval 'hall house'. In 1032, Eadsy, chaplain to King Cnut, gave his estate at Orpedingetune to Christ Church Priory, Canterbury. The first Rector of Orpington, Hugh de Mortimer, held court here in 1270. The house was rebuilt, this time of stone, in 1290, and added to in 1393 and 1471. In the 17th century the house ceased to be a rectory and passed into private ownership - a timber framed extension was added, which no longer exists. The house was acquired by Orpington Urban District Council in 1947, and now it houses a museum and a public library. The garden forms an attractive public park, and contains a natural pond which is the source of the River Cray. Each year the Orpington May Queen is crowned in the gardens.

Orpington Hospital During the first world war a large military hospital, the "16th Canadian General", was built south-east of the station, funded by the government of Ontario, Canada. It originally accommodated 1050 patients; an extra wing was added in 1917. By January 1919 more than 15,000 wounded soldiers had been treated here. Many of the 182 who died are buried in "Canadian Corner" of All Saints' churchyard. Most of the original pre-fabricated buildings remained in use for more than 80 years before a major renovation around the turn of the century.
