The Crown Inn - 7 en-suite bedrooms, bar and restaurant and extensive new menu the Crown is well worth a visit. Close to London, The Crown is situated on the attractive large wooded Chislehurst Common. The name Chislehurst is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words 'coesal' and 'hyrsk' meaning 'gravel wood'. If you enjoy walking then Chislehurst is on one of the Green Chain Routes from Mottingham Lane to Beckenham Park (4 1/2 miles) The Crown is very close to the well known Chislehurst Caves which extend for nearly 20 miles and date back over 4,000 years. The caves became more widely known after their use during the Second World War as an air raid shelter, not only for the locals but also for over 10,000 Londoners who travelled to the caves each night by special train. This was so well organised that people could pay 1d per night for a bunk and there was also a cinema, church and hospital for them to use during their time underground.
