Unity Church, Rye Crescent, Orpington
Built in 1967 to serve the large Ramsden estate east of Orpington and its bypass. Since 2012 it has been a joint venture between the Anglican and Hope churches, having formerly been Anglican/Methodist. The interior is very plain and very much used as a multi purpose space
All Saints, Bark Hart Road, Orpington
Orpington parish church, but north east of the town centre in suburban roads. The old Saxon and Norman church has been made a chapel to a large 1957 church built at right angles and designed by Geddes Hyslop. The stumpy tower is the consequence of storm damage to its upper parts.

St Michael and All Angels, Crofton Road, Locks Bottom, Farnborough (Roman Catholic)
Built in 1963-1964 and designed by Henry Bingham Towner. Inside the main church is lit by a complete set of windows by Murphy Devitt of Dublin, dating from 1964. There is also a separately walled chapel near the entrance area.
St Mary the Virgin, Hayes Street, Hayes
In the old village rather than near the station. This is a medieval church to which Gilbert Scott added a north aisle and restoration in 1856-62 and John Oldrid Scott added a south aisle in 1878. Thus only the tower, west wall and part of the chancel remain from the old church. There is a huge memorial to the Hambro banking family in the big churchyard.
