Transfer from Stansted Airport to Tunbridge Wells
Royal Tunbridge Wells was established in the start of the 17th century as a spa area close to the Chalybeate Spring. It was thought to treat the sadness, the colic and have many other qualities. It was referred to as Turnbridge Wells after the close by city of Tonbridge that was spelled “Tunbridge” back then.
For a long time Tunbridge Wells has been related with wealthier classes of the UK. Writer William Makepeace Thackeray and mathematician Thomas Bayes are two of the many popular tourists that decided to finally reside in the town. References to Turnbridge Wells in literature are plentiful, and its ambiance is maybe finest described by David Lean’s legendary movie Lawrence of Arabia, which ends with the phrases from Dryden as response to King Feisal: “Me? Your Highness? – On the whole, I wish I’d stayed in Tunbridge Wells.”
The town is split in two key locations. The south is the historical part and consists of the spa itself along with The Pantiles. It was previously recognized as The Walks and the Royal Parade, which employs, pretty distinctively, roofing tiles for paving.
The north side of Turnbridge Wells, is a modern area and it is mostly destined for shopping. Even so, it does house a couple of significant points of interest, the Trinity Theatre, the Millenium Clock on Lime Hill Road and the Assembly Halls.
