Flooding, Borkwood Court
Although Orpington is in a dry valley, the current source of the River Cray being the pond in Priory Gardens at the north end of High Street, high water table levels can lead to flooding further south. After exceptionally high rainfall in early 2014, this is the fate that befell Borkwood Court, a block of flats in Sevenoaks Road.

North Drive
A look at a map of this area, known as the Davis Estate after its builders, shows the symmetry of design. Even the road names are symmetrical. North Drive, shown here at its junction with Oakleigh Gardens, has a mirror road called South Drive.
