The LCDR B2 class was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway. The class was designed by William Kirtley and introduced in 1891.
The locomotives passed to the South Eastern and Chatham Railway in 1899. All 6 (LCDR nos. 652-657) survived into Southern Railway ownership in 1923. They had all been withdrawn by 1933.
