Key Facts
Petts Wood & Knoll ward, as the name suggests covers the town centre & residential area of Petts Wood & the residential area between Petts & Orpington known as The Knoll. Petts Wood is split into East & West by the railway station & is believed to be named after the woodland, owned by the Pett family, which existed before 1930 when many of the current houses were built. Petts Wood Town centre has a large selection of small, independently owned shops & restaurants at its heart, creating a vibrant centre that is rare in the days of increasingly homogenised high-streets.
The Station Square area of Petts Wood town centre is part of a Conservation area, with Petts Wood East being an Area of Special Residential Character (ASRC). Petts Wood West & The Knoll are quiet suburban residential areas. The Knoll sits between Petts Wood East & Orpington high street. The Conservatives, in particular the Conservative Councillors for the Ward, work hard to ensure that both Petts Wood & The Knoll maintain their quiet & characterful appeal to residents.
