West KentSevenoaks

Sevenoaks, close to London so a popular place to live, this is a large commuter area with frequent trains to London, yet the countryside around is a must with wooded hills on the Weald and small villages.

Named originally after seven oaks in the town, it was established in the 12th century. Lots of modern housing almost overrides the original centre, still has a market and famous for allowing this author to pass his driving test!.

Lots of shops, cinema, etc.Sevenoaks has a Tourist Information Centre in the town.
