St Paul's Cray lies on the River Cray and is part of the London Borough of Bromley. St Paul's Cray was once a separate village, but like its sister St Mary Cray has been incorporated in to Orpington. Hoblingwell Wood lies in the district as well as entrances and portions of Scadbury Park nature reserve.

A dominant feature of St Mary Cray and St Paul's Cray are the industrial estates on Cray Avenue/Sevenoaks Way, home to retail outlets such as PC World, Comet, Land of Leather, Homebase, JJB Sports, MFI, Currys, Carpet Right and Arco. These retailers list their stores as Orpington branches. The art deco tower of the Allied Bakery, formerly Tip Top Bakeries, is a local landmark. The local football team, Cray Wanderers F.C., is one of the oldest football clubs in the world.

Like its sister St Mary Cray, St Paul's Cray is home to a large ex-traveller community as well as many descendents of Irish travellers who moved south from Bermondsey after the docks shut.
