Sevenoaks, in west Kent, had a population of around 30,000 at the 2021 census — a well-to-do commuter town whose name comes with its own well-known piece of local drama.
The night six of its seven oaks fell
Sevenoaks takes its name from a row of oak trees that once stood on the town's historic Vine cricket ground. That namesake line survived for generations until the Great Storm of October 1987, one of the most destructive storms in modern British history, tore through southern England overnight and brought down six of the seven trees. National newspapers ran headlines joking that the town would have to rename itself 'Oneoak'. New oaks were planted soon afterwards to restore the line, and the story remains one of the best-known local memories of the 1987 storm anywhere in the country.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Sevenoaks' storm story is well known, but it never left the town with a dedicated sweet shop — there's no local option set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines.
