Tonbridge Station is one on Kent’s busiest stations seeing 4.1 million passengers each year. It is an important junction within London, Hastings and Redhill. Being such a largely visited town, privacy is a must for the residents on Tonbridge, which makes plenty of opportunities for us to work with many different kinds of people from all walks of life with different tastes and styles. The benefits of our interior window shutters are that they are custom made to measure and fit into any style and home.

Here at Plantation Shutters, we service a wide area around greater London. We have had projects stretching to not only Redhill but also all of Surrey as well as Sussex, Kent Hertfordshire and of course Central London. With most of the homes in this area having large bay windows, this can make the homeowners feel rather exposed to the outside world. So, whether you are looking for something to help you save some vital space, have more control over the natural light in your home or adding some much-needed privacy, our wooden shutters are the perfect solution.

Tonbridge saw a lot during the second world war. In 1939 over 600 boys from Dulwich College were evacuated to Tonbridge for safety. Also, during WWII, a prisoner of war camp was built at the junction of Tudeley Lane and Pembury Road on land belonging to Somerhill house. It held German pilots who had been shot down and captured Italian soldiers. After the war, the camp was then used as temporary housing for people made homeless after the Blitz. Now the site is now Weald of Kent Girls Grammar School. Well known people to have lived in Tonbridge is Olympic Gold medallist Dame Kelly Holmes who has a sculpture dedicated to her. George Austen father of Jane Austen attended Tonbridge School as well as teaching there. Cricketer Frank Woolley and Colin Cowdrey also lived in Tonbridge.
