  • Sevenoaks is a commuter town in the Sevenoaks district of Kent in South East England and forms part of the London commuter belt. It is situated 21.5 miles (34.6 km) south east of Charing Cross in London. The Town has a population of around 18,000, but forms part of a larger built up area including Riverhead, Dunton Green, Seal and Chipstead. The town's name is derived from the Saxon word "Seouenaca", the name given to a small chapel near seven oak trees in Knole Park around 800 A.D.. Contrary to popular myth, the town is not named after the seven oak trees that lined the boundary of the Vine Cricket Ground, six of which were destroyed in the Great Storm of 1987. Those trees were one of several sets of seven oaks around the town and date from 1902 when they were planted to commemorate the Coronation of King Edward VII. It is near two large lakes, one of which (the East Lake) is the location for Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve. It is very close to the M25 motorway. (en)
  • Sevenoaks is een plaats 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 (Engels: oak) in Knole Park. (nl)
  • Sevenoaks er en by i Kent, England. Den er administrasjonssenter for distriktet Sevenoaks. Byen ligger omkring 40km 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 (2004). 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. (no)
