The Pantiles, Georgian colonnade in Royal Tunbridge Wells, England.

The Pantiles features a long row of Georgian buildings with colonnaded walkways, specialist shops, art galleries, restaurants, and a central bandstand.

The discovery of a chalybeate spring in 1606 by Lord Dudley North led to the development of this promenade, initially named The Walks.

The colonnade hosts regular farmers markets, outdoor jazz performances during summer evenings, and various seasonal food festivals throughout the year.

Visitors can sample the iron-rich spring water served by traditionally dressed attendants at the northeastern end of the colonnade.

The walkways received their name from the clay pantiles that originally paved the promenade in 1700, although these were later replaced with stone flagging.
