EVENTS





The Crown Inn Chislehurst, Kent has 7 en-suite bedrooms, bar and restaurant with an extensive new menu the Crown is well worth a visit.

The Crown is situated on the attractive large wooded Chislehurst Common. The name Chislehurst is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words 'coesal' and 'hyrsk' meaning 'gravel wood'. If you enjoy walking then Chislehurst is on one of the Green Chain Routes from Mottingham Lane to Beckenham Park (4 1/2 miles) The Crown is very close to the well known Chislehurst Caves which extend for nearly 20 miles and date back over 4,000 years. Chislehurst Caves became more widely known after their use during the Second World War as an air raid shelter, not only for the locals but for over 10,000 Londoners who travelled to the caves each night by special train. This was so well organised that people could pay 1d per night for a bunk and there was also a cinema, church and hospital for them to use during their time underground. Chislehurst caves are thought to be entirely man made and were created during three periods of time by our ancestors - Well worth a visit. Close by Camden Place was once the residence of Napoleon III and the Empress Eugenie. A memorial to their son, who died fighting for the British against the Zulus can be seen on Chislehurst Common. If you just want to meander round attractions and shops then Bromley is just 3 miles away.
