    Priory Gardens is the perfect place to escape if you work in an office nearby, a quiet space away from the high street. Could do with some more park benches and some of the existing ones need replacing. The ponds add interest and a place for wild life.

    I was looking for squirrels to capture and I saw the black crow hunted one of the lovely baby ducks. I feel so bad. Maybe i took that baby's photos earlier. I run after it to save her but clever black crow took her food away from me all the time and it was too late for a baby duck. :( its nature, we shouldnt change but duck's mother was screaming alot and i felt like i had to do something.

    Priory Park is a pleasant park in Orpington. It’s about 15 minutes walk from the train station if you can resist the cafes and shops along the high street. There is a nice pond with ducks and a little cafe with good snacks and drinks. Because it’s a small park I could always hear the traffic but it’s great to take a walk or to relax in the manicured garden section with a nice magazine as I did. There was the usual Mr Whippy ice cream van found in most parks.

    Spent yesterday walking around this beautiful park. Enjoyed all the nesting and baby birds. Trees, flowers and gardens were beautiful. Was a lovely day and seemed so quiet even though it was close to a main road

    Better compared to how it was 2 years ago. Good size children's playground and grounds for picnic. Ice cream van pulled up for the ice cream lovers. I'm relieved that park has been cleaned, police patrol was on site and some other work are being done at the moment. Curious to see how it all turns up.

    what a beautiful little spot, small playground for children and a lovely space fit for a little reflection. you wouldn't even know it was there, but defo worth a visit, just even to see the historic buildings ❤️

    Absolutely beautiful to walk around. Some nice places to sit and feed the birds. I would Absolutely recommend coming here just for a relaxing day

    It could have been much nicer place if well managed and cleaned regularly. There's a wooden bridge across the pond that's been broken for ages! Hoards of huge geez that litter everywhere so you can't walk there without wellies. The pond is lovely but dirty beyond imagination. We love the playground though. It's quite spacious with loads of activities for the kids. Shame on Bromley Counsel for the dilapidated state of the park.

    A lovely space for kids and adults. My 5 year old had an amazing time watching the ducks and running all over the place. The children's park is well maintained and a compact space for the kids to tire themselves out! Would be a great choice for a picnic spot when the weather gets better. I remember seeing signs for dogs not being allowed.

    Priory Gardens lovely today. And the cafe is really nice. Excellent choice - hot and cold snacks, coffee and fresh cakes. Superb quality. Staff really welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend!

    Great place to visit,I take my grandson most weekends,feed the ducks and geese,then play in the secured play area for children,then have a nature walk round the park and sometimes an ice cream.Highly recommended great for everyone of all ages.

    Took several youngsters here. They enjoyed looking around the park, although we had to keep an eye on them around the flowerbeds. Didn't go near the ponds, that's another week when we learn about the River Cray.

    I'm being generous with two stars for this park. The park has a 'dog-free' zone (which is most of the park). The part that allows dogs is covered in dog mess and dirty. The pond absolutely stank of stagnant water with litter throughout. I'm surprised the geese and ducks are still there! There's also a small cafe selling hot and cold drinks and snacks too, looked clean from the outside.

    Thoroughly enjoyed a walk around this tranquil Park. Amazed at the variety of wildlife on view as well as the beautiful flowers & trees.
