Tunbridge Wells, often known as Royal Tunbridge Wells, is an affluent large town in a borough of the same name in Kent County in south east England, around 35 miles south-east of Central London. Landmarks include the Pantiles, with its chalybeate spring (natural water containing sorts of Iron) and also the Millennium Clock in the town's centre, which is 5 metres high. Additionally there is the lovely Dunorlan Park open space.

Kent has many port towns including Dover, Folkestone and Margate. Adjacent counties include East Sussex, Surrey, Essex (across the River Thames) and, as stated earlier, Greater London. Curiously, Kent used to contain an enclave north of the River Thames until 1965 which equates now to the E16 postcode area and which has now been reclassified as part of the London Borough of Newham. JMW Turner, the great impressionist painter, spent part of his childhood in Margate and regularly returned there in later life. The coastline of East Kent is regarded as the inspiration for many of his works, particularly his fantastic seascapes.
