A Wedding in Royal Tunbridge Wells
There is something rather special about Royal Tunbridge Wells. A historic spa town wrapped in the rolling beauty of Kent countryside, it offers wedding couples a rare and compelling balance. Accessibility without compromise, and scenery that feels entirely your own.
Just 45 minutes from London, Tunbridge Wells allows you to gather loved ones from near and far with ease. Its royal heritage is unmistakable. The graceful Georgian and Victorian architecture, from the storied colonnades of The Pantiles to the elegant crescents and garden squares. This architectural refinement extends to wedding venues, with Salomons Estate representing the pinnacle – a manor house just 5 minutes from town, yet set in complete countryside privacy across 36 acres.
Transport connections make Tunbridge Wells ideal for destination weddings: direct trains from London (45–55 minutes), easy M25/A21 motorway access (40 minutes by car), proximity to Gatwick (30 minutes) and Heathrow (75 minutes).
