About

Tunbridge Wells Central sits around the Pantiles and the High Street. The Pantiles' colonnaded walkway and the chalybeate spring that gave the town its name remain focal points, and the area still hosts markets and events on the paved square. Cultural venues include the Assembly Hall Theatre and the Tunbridge Wells Museum & Art Gallery, both close to pedestrian shopping lanes and the Royal Victoria Place centre. Independent shops and cafes line Mount Pleasant and Nevill Street, while historic townhouses and former coaching inns frame short streets and alleyways.

Calverley Grounds and the stretch of Tunbridge Wells Common provide accessible green space near the centre, with a bandstand and paths that lead into wooded areas and sandstone outcrops. Tunbridge Wells station lies to the south of the main shopping district, offering regular rail services to London and to coastal towns, and local buses serve nearby neighbourhoods. Day-to-day life in the central area combines shopping, culture and public space around the spring that shaped the town.
