About Sevenoaks

With its name deriving from the Saxon word, Seouenaca, meaning seven oak trees, we now know Sevenoaks as a contemporary, thriving commuter haven, steeped in History courtesy of the imposing 15th Century Knole House, and the equally impressive Sevenoaks School.

Founded in 1432 along with the adjacent alms-houses, as part of the last Will and Testament of William Sevenoke, the former Mayor of London who grew up in the town, the School is the second oldest non-denominational school in the United Kingdom.

So, combining a very frequent train service running to London Bridge in under 30 minutes, numerous outstanding schools, including the prestigious Sevenoaks School and the rich history of the town, Sevenoaks makes a near perfect choice for young professionals, commuters and families alike.
