Sevenoaks: Guide

Sevenoaks is a town in Kent, in the South England|South of England.

Understand

Sevenoaks is a fairly traditional market town, although these days, given its proximity to London, it is known largely as a commuter town.

Contrary to popular belief the town isn't named after the seven oak trees that stood alongside the cricket pitch (six of which were destroyed in the great storm of 1987); the town's name is instead derived from the Saxon word seouenaca, the name given to a small chapel in Knole Park around 800 AD.

Get in

By car

Sevenoaks is situated very near the junction where the M26 meets the M25. The M26 (or A25) leads to Maidstone, and the A21 heads south to Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Hastings (England)|Hastings.
