Many a famous person has resided in Chislehurst at some point in history, and the name itself is of Saxon origin meaning “gravel wooded hill”. One of its well-renowned attractions are the Chislehurst Caves, which we’re used as both bomb shelters in World War II, and subsequently had the likes of Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones gracing us with their music there. If ever down here, be sure to take a walk on the common, which is also part of a conservation area spanning approximately 600 hectares.
