 Sevenoaks
|
|
| 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.
