GUIDE
Situated only a short drive from the hustle and bustle of London , and boasting a desirable combination of lively hotspots and idyllic retreats , it comes as no surprise that the town of Chislehurst has become a must-visit destination for both Londoners seeking quaint Kentish charm and Garden of England residents searching for a unique staycation combining enticing eats , small business shopping and outdoor adventure .
One of Chislehurst ’ s most adored attributes is its miles of woodlands and glistening ponds that uniquely divide the many buzzing streets , gathering families and keen outdoor explorers from afar to stroll throughout the weaving fields and decorated pathways .
This autumn , as the leaves on ancient trees change to their prettiest shades and the town ’ s pubs display an array of cosy corners to escape to , Chislehurst will arguably be unrivalled when it comes to choosing a getaway location fit for the season .
Whether your dream day out consists of uncovering the wealth of historical tales woven throughout the town ’ s popular tourist attractions , or retreating to a luxurious spot for some much deserved R & R , you are certain to find what you are looking for here .
“ Chislehurst is such a beautiful and quaint place . Perfect for families and friends , you ’ ll find lots of great independent eateries from small plate fine dining to welcoming pubs and great cafes for cake and coffee . There are also some great shops to browse . Here at Wrattens , you ’ ll find lots of interesting goods from candles to clothing in our store , while at the back of the shop we have a welcoming cafe proudly serving fresh food ; well worth a stop when you next visit .”
