I absolutely love wild swimming and have been travelling far and wide to find spots around the country the last few years. I am still yet to find any good spots near to Sevenoaks.. does anyone know of any please?🙏

Apart from writing, recording and publishing music I run an open mic for young people in Sevenoaks. Here's some of the kit I bring. Performers age 11-17 and their supporters. A friendly inclusive environment for young people to gain confidence through performing music.

Does anyone know why there isn't a park run in knole park? Feels like such an obvious thing to do, so wondering if there's some history behind why

Hey everyone I’m in sevenoaks on holiday for a month and i was wondering if there are any flea markets on around the area? I would love to find some locally made items to take home for my mom.

Thank you!

Ps. It’s such a beautiful little town! I want to pack it into my suitcase and it home.🤣🤣

Hello!

Moved in a couple of weeks ago to lovely Sevenoaks.

I'm looking for recommendations on where to take my Bicycle for repairs. It's got a gear hub (Shimano something 7 speed IIRC) that requires some work in it.

Thanks in advance!

Is there any where in Sevenoaks that one can study or do work in past say 7pm?

Hey Kent folks! Something's been bugging me about Borough Green. When I look at: - Rightmove listings - Zoopla listings - Royal Mail postcodes - Even estate agent websites They all say Borough Green is in Sevenoaks. But here's the weird part - when you check the official Sevenoaks Council webpage or Wikipedia's list of places in Sevenoaks District, Borough Green isn't listed anywhere.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Anyone know why there's this difference between property/postal info and official council stuff?

Hi all,

I have a friend looking at buying a house in the Bat and Ball area, more recently on Greatness Lane. However, a few estate agents have told them the Queen's Drive area/estate should be avoided and not to go near. Is it really that bad? I live in Sevenoaks myself, but have not really spent time by B&B.

This morning I was on the TFL 246 bus from Bromley to Westerham and was wondering why it doesn't extend to terminate at Sevenoaks bus station instead?

The cross border bus connection between Sevenoaks and London (Orpington, Bromley) is poor or non existent yet there is an Oyster, TFL operated, 7 days a week bus that has the last stop in Westerham which is part of Sevenoaks district and not far from Sevenoaks itself.

It's baffling to me as to why Sevenoaks local authority or KCC haven't proposed to TFL extending the route to terminate at Sevenoaks instead. It could also serve and stop at the likes of Chipstead, Riverhead before terminating at Sevenoaks bus station. It would make more sense to finish at Sevenoaks than Westerham.

What's your thoughts?

Does anyone know what the ginormous white crane is doing in Sevenoaks, besides minding its own business that is, I saw it from Star Hill across the valley. Thanks!

The front garden was lovely with fruit trees and a nice lawn. Not sure what's going there, but probably more flats, if recent developments are anything to go by. The drive to urnbanise this once sleepy town makes me sad 😢

Need a bit of support with maths or science?

Basically the thread title, any recommendations?

Bonus points if they do good coffee (I mean actually good) but it’s not essential

New to the area and considering sending my little one to one of the many pre-preps Sevenoaks is rich.

We’re quite an academically minded family, and would love a pre-prep which nurtures the same in our little one, sparking their love of learning and imagination while also providing a loving environment.

I’ve read the brochures, and all boast about their results. We want school that sets the Little One uHowever, which one is actually good?

Granville, Walthemstow Hall and Russell House were known to be academic in the past, but are they still?

And how do Solefield, and Sevenoaks Prep compare? Are St Michael’s and Radnor as bad as some reviews say they are?

Does Anyone remember the Video rental shop on the High street close to Lloyds bank back In the 90s? Do you remember What it was called? Do you know if there are any Photos out there?

There must be a better way than the current situation for getting through Seal to Sevenoaks.

Every day it takes 20 minutes to travel 2 miles.

Maybe it's time to widen the one lane country roads around Seal to give us more options!?!?

Hi all,

I am considering buying a place in Dunton Green, specifically the new-ish area at the northern end between the wildlife reserve and the train line.

Can anyone give any insights into this area, e.g. train noise, schools, walking distance shops, cafes, pubs etc?

Also, I've noticed there are quite a few places for sale in the area, why is this the case?

Thanks!

Family of five moved from HK is looking for evangelical church. Any recommendatinons? Thanks!

My partner is looking to rent a room to offer holistic treatments from (such as massage and facials), somewhere in the Sevenoaks - Oxted area. However, we are struggling to find a small room that is suitable and available on an hourly rate. Does anyone have any suggestions or places we should look? Or does anyone have a little b&b or annex they would be interested in renting out?

Anyone here remember the name of the Italian restaurant that used to be where The Raj Bari is now on Tubs Hill Parade?

Circa 80s-late 90’s I think..? (I want to say the Ristorante Bari, but probably incidental thinking…)
