Latest reviews | Events in Chislehurst
In the county of Kent, in the London Borough of Bromley, Chislehurst is one of the most congested areas of South East London. First mentioned in a charter of 973, its name derives from Saxon ‘cisel’ meaning gravel and ‘hyrst’ meaning wooded hill, the gravely soil made it unsuitable for cultivation but the village became popular with Londoners looking for property in the country, being high and well-drained but in little demand for agriculture.
French Emperor Napoleon III died in exile in 1873 in Camden Place, now the site of Chislehurst Golf Club. His body, and that of the Prince Imperial, was originally buried in St Mary’s Church before being moved to Farnborough Abbey. A memorial exists in the woods and several road names have connections to the Imperial family that had earned the village a social standing and fashionable status.
Chislehurst Caves, originally used for mining flint and chalk, are considered to be of ancient origin, used nightly by thousands of people as air raid shelters during World War II. Supposedly haunted, the Druids are said to have made grisly human sacrifices in their depths although in recent times they have been used as a film location for episodes of Doctor Who. Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones and the Who have played there.
