Description

Chislehurst Caves, carved over centuries for chalk, lime burning, and flints, have a rich history. Open to the public since 1900, they’ve served as a showplace, munitions storage during WWI, an air-raid shelter for 15,000 during the Blitz, and a venue for music events in the 50s to 70s. Today, they’re a popular tourist attraction, offering guided tours, a café, gift shop, and facilities for groups, functions, and children’s parties.

With extraordinary acoustic properties and a spooky atmosphere, the caves provide a unique experience. Entrance fees are £7.50 for children (ages 3 to 15), £9.50 for adults (ages 16 to 63), and £7.50 for seniors (ages 64+).
