The Daylight Inn is a Grade II listed public house at Station Square, Petts Wood, Orpington, in the London Borough of Bromley.

It was built in 1935 for Charrington's Brewery, and designed by their chief architect Sidney Clark.[1]

The pub was named in honour of William Willett who came up with the idea of Daylight Saving and lived in Petts Wood.[1] Long-standing legal restrictions meant that no other pub could be built within one mile. Until Wetherspoons opened The Sovereign of the Seas, Petts Wood only ever had one public house.

Orpington & District ABC

The venue was used as an amateur boxing show venue and also the executive HQ for Orpington & District ABC during the 60s.

Conservation

The pub has undergone several refurbishments over the years, the most notable being in 1996, when the two sides of the pub (saloon bar and restaurant) were knocked into one.

It was Grade II listed in 2015 by Historic England as part of a drive to protect some of the country's best interwar pubs. The citation draws attention to the quality of the building including its plasterwork and structural timber framing.[1]
