Sevenoaks Local Information

A town in the Sevenoaks District of Kent, Sevenoaks is situated in south east England and makes up part of the London commuter belt, set 21.5 miles away from Charing Cross in the city centre.

On the A21 dual carriageway, Sevenoaks is also connected on the M23 London Orbital motorway on Junction Five. Sevenoaks train station opened on March 2, 1868 and was once the place of an accident on August 24, 1927 when a passenger trail derailed killing 13 people. The train became unstable at the high speed and led to the whole range being rebuilt.

On September 7, 2006, Sevenoaks was revealed as one of the safest places to live in Kent by the Police. The largest employer in the town is the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), although most of the residents are commuters into the city centre.

Dating back to 800AD, Sevenoaks’ name comes from the word Seouenaca, which was a name given to a small chapel in Knole Park. Many people believe the town is named after the seven oak tress wich lined the boundary of the Vine Cricket Ground, six of which were destroyed in the Great Storm of 1987, but this is not true.

Knole Park is a 1000 acre park home to millions of trees and a number of deer. The Knole House estate is now owned by the National Trust but the famous local Sackville family still live there. In January 1967 The Beatles made films for the songs Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane in Knole Park.

Sevenoaks opened its first market in the 13th century, in 1456 Knole House was built by the Archbishop of Canterbury and in the Middle Ages two hospitals were built in the town.

Sevenoaks School is the oldest in England and was founded in 1432 by Sir William Sevenoke, a wealthy London merchant who was once a street orphan, and by the early 19th century there were seven grammar schools in the town.
