Historically, the major local commercial centre was nearby
Orpington railway station opened in 1868 to the southwest of the town centre, prompting housing development in the Crofton and Broom Hill areas, with the Derry Downs areas to the east also developed at about the same time.[4] The station was expanded in 1904, prompting a wave of house building that peaked in the 1920-30s, transforming the area into a suburb of London.[4] The Walnuts Shopping Centre was built in the early 1970s.[4]
Government
Orpington has been part of the London Borough of Bromley since 1 April 1965. Prior to this Orpington's local government was the Orpington Urban District within the county of Kent. Orpington forms part of the Orpington (UK Parliament constituency) and the current MP is Gareth Bacon, who has held the seat since 2019 for the Conservative Party.[8] Orpington constituency, which covers a large swathe of southern Bromley borough, is regarded as a Conservative safe seat, with the party winning the seat in every general election held since 1970. Gareth Bacon is also the London Assembly member for the Bexley and Bromley constituency in which Orpington is located.[9]

This retail park is located to the north of the high street, in the St Mary Cray area.[17] The vicinity of the park also hosts several 'big box' retail outlets.

Orpington War Memorial
Orpington War Memorial standing at the end of the High Street is a focal point for Remembrance Sunday.[46] It was designed by local architect Charles Heaton Comyn and unveiled on Sunday 28 August 1921.[47][self-published source?] It originally contained the names of 111 local men who died in the Great War, however further names were added later, bringing the total for the Great War up to 117.
A campaign in 1997–98 for the remembrance of 432 armed forces personnel who fell in the Second World War resulted in the unveiling of eight more plaques on Sunday 2 August 1999.[47] Another new plaque has been added detailing the eight local men who have died on active duty since 1945.[47]
Canadian Corner
In the corner of All Saints' Church sits Canadian Corner. This is a First World War memorial that marks where 182 soldiers who died being treated at Orpington Hospital are buried. The name derives from the fact 88 of those buried are Canadians. Canadian Corner is unique in that its design resembles that of First World War Cemeteries found in France & Belgium, with the text on the memorial suggesting that the Memorial Cross was the first outside of the Western Front, as the English public were interested in how the war cemeteries looked.[

There are now no known surviving examples.[50]
