Tunbridge Wells, or Royal Tunbridge Wells, in affluent town in western Kent on the north edge of the High Weald. It developed when it became a spa town in the Restoration era.

It has properties mainly from the Georgian period onwards and many Victorian cottages. There are large detached and terrace Victorian houses around Calverley Park and Calverley Park Crescent and fine Regency houses in London Road.

You also find many modern buildings for example detached properties in Pembury Road. There are Victorian terraces in Little Mount Sion and East Cliff Road and Edwardian semi-detached properties around Molyneux Park Road and Court Road.

New build developments include Royal Wells Park in Mount Ephraim on the site of the former Kent and Sussex hospital site; it has 243 1, 2 and 3-bedroom flats, 3, 4 and 5-bedroom townhouses and 6 detached houses with 10 flats for 'intermediate' rent.

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.
