Chelsfield

Charming village on the edge of the countryside with traditional pubs and a strong sense of local history.

Getting to know Chelsfield

Chelsfield is a picturesque village located in the southeastern part of the borough, offering an idyllic taste of Kentish rural life while keeping London accessible. The area is essentially split into two: the historic Chelsfield Village with its old-world charm, Norman church, and community green, and the more modern New Chelsfield which grew around the railway station. It's a peaceful, welcoming enclave that appeals strongly to families and those seeking a quieter pace of life bordered by the open farmland of the Green Belt.

What Chelsfield is known for

The village is best known for its traditional country pubs, like The Five Bells, and the historic St Martin of Tours church, which dates back to the 12th century. The surrounding countryside provides endless opportunities for scenic walks and outdoor pursuits. Chelsfield also hosts the beloved Chelsfield Village Fair, a highlight of the local calendar that brings the community together for traditional games, stalls, and entertainment.
