The newly refurbished Crown Inn has 7 brand new en-suite bedrooms, a bar and restaurant with al a carte menu. The Crown overlooks beautiful Chislehurst Common.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 for over 10,000 Londoners who travelled to the caves each night by special train. It 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. The caves are thought to be entirely man made and were created during three periods of time by our ancestors - Well worth a visit. The Crown Inn has 7 guest rooms.[less]
