Harvest Moon, Orpington

The Harvest Moon closed its doors for the last time on September 4, 2022. We don't yet know whether JDW plan to open an alternative venue in Orpington, or what will happen to these premises.

The nearest JDW outlet is now the Sovereign of the Seas in Petts Wood, with two more outlets in Central Bromley.

A outline planning application for demolition has been submitted but was then withdrawn (on 04 Oct 2022). This implies that had a full planning application been submitted that it would have been refused. Details of planning application:

Full planning permission is sought for the construction of part of Block A (A1 and A2) (max height 126.18m AOD), part of the podium at ground and first floor of Block A3, and the public realm throughout the Site.

This JD Wetherspoon pub is situated centrally in the High Street. It’s a relatively small ‘spoons and therefore can get busy at times. The walls are filled with local old photos of Orpington and its area. There is a small outside seating/smoking area on the pavement.
