Royal Tunbridge Wells, Historic spa town in Kent, England

Located 30 miles southeast of London, Royal Tunbridge Wells spreads across several hills in the High Weald region at 97 meters elevation.

The discovery of medicinal chalybeate springs in 1606 by Dudley North transformed this location into a fashionable resort for London society.

The Pantiles, a colonnaded Georgian promenade, contains specialty shops, art galleries, and restaurants that reflect the town's heritage.

Regular train services connect Royal Tunbridge Wells to London in under one hour, with stations positioned near the central shopping district.

The town received its royal designation in 1909 from King Edward VII, making it one of only three locations in England with this distinction.
