Willett Way Various builders were involved in developing Petts Wood in the late 1920s/1930s, and provided they subscribed to the overall vision of Basil Scruby, the man behind the concept of Petts Wood as a green field "garden suburb", they were allowed to leave their individual mark. These houses in Willett Way were built by one of the best known builders in Petts Wood, Noel Rees, typified by his "Tudor" style. Willett Way is one of a number of sites in Petts Wood commemorating William Willett, the man behind daylight saving, the precursor of "British Summer Time", who lived in nearby Chislehurst and whose idea came to him while riding in pre-development Petts Wood.
St Johns URC Church The church was opened in 1930, as a Presbyterian Church, among the streets of the interwar development within easy reach of Orpington Station. In the early 20th century, before it was built on, this area was a golf course.
