Well worth a conducted tour of these manmade chalk caves that date back to prehistory but during WWII a nightly shelter for 1000s of Londoners. Very modest entry fee and cafe and free carpark to hand.

Old water factory on Park Road, Chislehurst
Park Road is the site of Chislehurst Mineral Waters Factory which produced pure aerated water. The glass bottles marked with the initials of the proprietor, Harry Lines, sometimes get unearthed in local gardens today and quite frequently 'pop' up on eBay

Daytime Cave War
For the first time, Games of Foam were given access to the Chislehurst Caves during the day for foam flinging fun, that extra game time was really appreciated!
Managed to forget my EZE adapter, thanks to Atch Attachments for lending me some Fastmags and 22's and my fellow member JJA for some extra mags, really saved my bacon! It's pretty dark in there. I made the footage as view-able as possible. - HailFireYork

Secret Chislehurst Caves
The other Chislehurst Caves. I was at St Nicholas school in Chislehurst in the sixties, and some friends and I discovered the entrance to a different cave system from the one open to the public. I recently went back with my daughter to see if it was still there, and this short video shows all. They are still largely as left by the original miners - see the old Davy Lamp, the miners shovel, the miners carved initials on the wall, and the soot marks from the candles used to provide light.

THE GHOST CLUB - Trip To Chislehurst Caves, 8th August 2010
The video could be better but it WAS pitch black most of the time! I've done what I can. I think this still gives you a pretty good idea of what the tour is like. Highly recommended! Probably the best caves I've visited, to be honest.

Chislehurst is an affluent suburban district in south east London, England and a part of the London Borough of Bromley. It borders the London Boroughs of Bexley and Greenwich, and lies east of Bromley and south west of Sidcup. It is 10.5 miles (16.9 km) south east of Charing Cross.
The name Chislehurst is derived from the Saxon words cisel 'gravel', and hyrst 'wooded hill'. Camden Place (now Chislehurst Golf Club, 51° 24′ 40.05″N 0° 3′ 55.69″E ) takes its name from the antiquary William Camden, who lived in the former house on the site from c.1609 until his death in 1623. The present house was built shortly before 1717, and was given a number of additions in the late 18th and very early 19th centuries by the architect George Dance the younger.
Chislehurst Common (and nearby St Paul's Cray Common) were saved from development in 1888 following campaigns by local residents. They were a popular destination for bank holiday trips in the early 20th century, and now provide a valuable green space. Nearby Petts Wood, Hawkwood and Scadbury have also been preserved as open spaces following local campaigns.
The Chislehurst civil parish formed an urban district of Kent from 1894 to 1934. In 1934 it became part of the Chislehurst and Sidcup Urban District, which was split in 1965 between the London boroughs of Bromley and Bexley. Chislehurst is home to the Derwent House, designed by William Willett.
Chislehurst is regarded as an affluent area and one of the most expensive places to live in South East London. Chislehurst West may be found by going towards Mottingham and this area includes the biggest of the ponds and the High Street which has many pubs and restaurants. Chislehurst West was previously known as Pricking and Prickend.
A local attraction is Chislehurst Caves. The caves are considered to be of very ancient origin. They were originally used to mine flint and chalk. During World War II, thousands of people used them nightly as an air raid shelter. There is even a chapel. One child was born in the caves during World War II, and was given a middle name of 'Cavena'. The caves have also been used as a venue for live music; Jimi Hendrix, the Who and the Rolling Stones have all played there. Chislehurst is one of the starting points for the Green Chain Walk, linking to places such as Crystal Palace, Erith, the Thames Barrier and Thamesmead.
