  • Sevenoaks is a commuter town situated in the west of Kent, England. It gives its name to the Sevenoaks district, of which it is the principal town, and lies 21.5 miles (34.6 km) south-east of the centre of London, at the southern end of one of the principal commuter rail lines from the capital. The presence of Knole House, a large mansion, led to the earlier settlement becoming a village; in the 13th century a market was established here Sevenoaks became part of the modern communications network when one of the earlier turnpikes was opened here in the 18th century; the railway was relatively late in reaching it. It has a large commuting population although a nearby defence installation is a large employer of labour. There are a number of independent educational establishments in the town, including Sevenoaks School, one of Britain’s leading independent schools.
  • Die Stadt Sevenoaks liegt in der englischen Grafschaft Kent und ist Verwaltungssitz des gleichnamigen Distrikts. Der Name soll auf die sächsische Bezeichnung „Seouenaca“ für eine Kapelle in der Nähe von sieben Eichen im angrenzenden Knolepark zurückgehen.

  • Sevenoaks is een stad en civil parish in het bestuurlijke gebied Sevenoaks, in het Engelse graafschap Kent. De plaats telt 18.588 inwoners. Het is de hoofdplaats van het district Sevenoaks en ligt ten zuidoosten van Londen. In de plaats is de Sevenoaks School gevestigd, die in 1432 is gesticht. Dit is de oudste seculiere school van het Verenigd Koninkrijk. De naam Sevenoaks komt van het Angelsaksische woord Seouenaca; de naam van een kleine kapel in de buurt van zeven eikebomen in Knole Park.
  • Sevenoaks er en by i Kent, England. Den er administrasjonssenter for distriktet Sevenoaks. Byen ligger omkring 40 km fra London, og en betydelig del av befolkningen er derfor pendlere. Elven Darent har sitt utspring ved Riverhead innenfor bygrensen. Befolkningstallet er omkring 18 000. Navnet kommer fra gammelengelsk Seouenaca, «syv eiketrær», som var navnet på et lite kapell som omkring år 800 sto ved siden av syv eiketrær. Navnet har således ikke blitt forvansket eller endret slik det er tilfelle mange andre steder, men har bare utviklet seg sammen med språket. En moderne myte forteller at byen ble navngitt etter syv eiketrær som sto ved siden av cricketbanen. Dette skjøt særlig fart etter at seks av trærne ble ødelagt under en stor storm i 1987. Men disse trærne ble ikke plantet før i 1902, for å minnes kroningen av Edward VII, og kom således mange århundrer senere enn byens navn. De ødelagte eikene ble erstattet av syv nye, og ettersom det siste overlevde står det nå åtte eiketrær ved banen.
