I visited today and spent about an hour there. Admission is £3 per adult and £2 per child. John the guide was very nice and gave us a talk about the place. It's got a fascinating history. They have a few activities for children like making a roman mosaic, brass rubbing and using archeological tools to find Roman artefacts buried in the sand. Also present at the site was the gentleman who worked on excavating the villa. They also have a card machine and are able to take payments via card.

I had the pleasure to visit Crofton Roman villa today. Kudos to the volunteers who are keeping this little treasure alive. If you are in the area pop in to have a chat and to know a bit more about our ancestors.

We went to the villa from Tunbridge Wells (less than 30’ train ride), it’s just opposite the Orpington Station so you don’t need a car to reach it. I think it’s more or less the same time from London, so anyone interested in roman times should visit it. We were hosted by a woman and a man, they explained the villa to us and answered our questions, and they even gave us advice about another roman villa nearby, Lullingstone. Thank you from the catalans!

Small and compact but full of local information and relics. Lots of children's activities. Right next to the station.

Very interesting and the only Roman villa in greater London open to the public.

It's an exciting villa site to visit.aa many new exhibits since 2019. Helps explain context of other Roman Villas in Darenth & Cray Valleys

A delightful local site of interest exhibiting ordinary life in Roman Britain. It was interesting and informative, with well presented signage. This included bright and attractive exhibitions and interactive exhibits for children. An absolutely fanastic thing to have locally. Please don't arrive expecting to see something the size and splendor of the colosseum. Or displaying the glamour and glory of the Roman empire. This it is not, and that is not the point. This site is a local historic site, dilliently managed and cared for by local enthusiasts & volunteers. Which shows what life was like in an ordinary farmstead in Roman Britain. It displays details of what life was like for the ordinary person, a less glamourous and often overlooked and under recorded aspect in history. This is why it is important and interesting. Current price to visit is £3 for an adult, again a fair contribution to support the maintenance of this important site. I was shown around the small site by Georgina. She was excellent and explained well about the site and the current study on it. The site is not big and will take less than 1 hour to look around. The site is very close to local services and shops in Oprington. Also it is next to the train station and stop for local buses, and upto 3 hours free parking is available in the nearby Tesco car park. I would definately recommend a visit if in the area to support this important historic site.

Was not impressed. Felt that the staff were not nice to the ethic ethnic minority children and some were rude to the children. Wouldn't go there again.

Excellent for teaching your children and yourself about the Romans. Fascinating villa remains too, and very educational. Great for kids! 5 stars.

My favourite shop

Great, well worth a visit 5*

Friendly and welcoming staff. Great little place!

A tiny little Roman villa. There's not a huge amount there and it's mostly aimed at school children. Nice if you're in the area but not worth travelling a long way for.

Don't see what all the fuss is about

Educational

Lovely group of volunteers run this place

Very good for children education

Historic, yet quality of activities are poor.

This place is always shut. Even if it says "open" it will be shut when you get there.
