Advantages: Good shopping

Disadvantages: Nightlife not overly exciting

Tunbridge Wells is a town I know well, having lived near it for many years. A picturesque town, it is actually strictly Royal Tunbridge Wells as it was frequented by Queen Victoria.

Shopping: Tunbridge Wells is great for shopping, sporting the Royal Victoria Place with a variety of shops including M and S, Bhs, Fenwicks, WHS, Topshop, Boots, New Look, amongst others, whereas there are plenty of smaller boutiques nearer the station on the High Street.

Nightlife: There are many good pubs in T Wells, including a very nice Spoons which isa converted opera house, right in the centre of town. There is a also a good music venue, the Forum, on the common, where the best up and coming bands come to play. Finally there is Beluga, the club or bar open Wednesday-Saturday or alternatively, El Mono which is slightly cheaper!

Day activities: There are plenty of things to see, such as the Pantiles, or a stroll on the common is always pleasant. There are also frequent trains to London, should you want to stray away for a day or two.

Restaurants: A wide variety, including Strada, Pizza Express, Zizzis, Wagamamas and Carluccios.

Summary: Good town with lots to do
