Living in Sevenoaks
With all the age old charm of a traditional market town but the added benefit of excellent transport links Sevenoaks has become one of the most popular towns in Kent. The ancient General Market takes place every Wednesday behind the High Street. There is a farmers' market every second Friday and every third Sunday each month at the Buckhurst car park and a WI market occurs every Thursday morning at the Drill Hall on Argyle Road. The town also has a Tesco and a Waitrose. Shopping has taken a new turn here with the brand new Blighs Meadow Shopping Centre between London Road and the High Street. 24 retail units have been constructed for £10m and offer 4,026 sq m of retail space with another 410 sq m of offices. Further north, in Dunton Green, the West Kent Cold Storage company are seeking to expand their 20-acre site into a green business park hosting 42,000 sq ft of office space. The Leisure Centre, offers a gym, three swimming pools, a multi-purpose sports hall, sauna, spa, steam room, children's soft play area, cafeteria, creche and meeting room. The Wildernesse Sports Centre is open to the public for squash, badminton, five-a-side football and step aerobics. And the Hollybush Playground offers all-weather pitches, indoor bowls and cricket, netball, tennis, hockey and lacrosse. Eateries in town include Caffe Uno, Café Rouge, Pollo, the Spice Club and the Maple Oyster Bar. The big pubs in town mostly deal in food as well, with the Halfway House serving the usual pub fare and the Farmers at the train station boasting a vast garden and barbecue area.
Sevenoaks is uniquely placed to take advantage of the junctions that surround it. Two 'A' roads form the main juncture within town itself, London Road (A224) and the High Street/Dartford Road (A225), the bus station being handily placed right here. On the western edge of town the A21 provides a route south to Tonbridge/Tunbridge Wells and on the northern edge of town the A25 will take you east to Maidstone. But it is the close proximity of the motorways which make Sevenoaks such a popular commuter town. The M25 reaches its south-eastern apex here at Junction 5, and six miles along the short M26 you come to the M20. Good road connections allow you to escape the country quickly, whether by sea or by air. The town has two train stations. The main line comes up from the great Kent junction at Tonbridge and splits in two at Sevenoaks station. This station is on the Main Kent Coast Line between Ashford/Hastings and Charing Cross and it also serves as the starting station for slow trains via Bromley South to Blackfriars and via Orpington to Charing Cross. Bat & Ball station in the north-east of town is on the Sevenoaks to Blackfriars route. Trains do not run through here on Sundays.
