Sevenoaks is a town situated in the west of Kent, England. It gives its name to the Sevenoaks district, of which it is the principal town, and lies 21.5 miles (34.6 km) south-east of the centre of London, at the southern end of one of the principal commuter rail lines from the capital.
The presence of Knole House, a large mansion, led to the earlier settlement becoming a village; in the 13th century a market was established here. Sevenoaks became part of the modern communications network when one of the earlier turnpikes was opened here in the 18th century; the railway was relatively late in reaching it. It has a large commuting population, although a nearby defence installation is a large employer of labour.
There are a number of independent educational establishments in the town, including Sevenoaks School, one of Britain’s leading independent schools.
