Location Swanley developed from the Saxon term 'Swine-ley', "Ley" meaning a clearing in the woods and "swine" meaning pigs. Originally it was a Saxon pig's farm which later developed into what we now know as Swanley. In the 6th and 7th Centuries, there were probably two homesteads. The town became an important horticulture centre and its green farm fields became an attraction for London doctors seeking a cure for sick Londoners, escaping the smog of London. The local area has many schools catering from reception to year 13 which includes four grammar schools at secondary level. The town centre offers many facilities including White Oaks Leisure Centre, with gym, swimming and soft play area, library, Swanley Park, weekly market and an array of local shops, supermarkets and public houses. Swanley also has a mainline railway station with regular services to London and there are road links from the area giving access to A2/M2, A20/M20, M25 and Dartford Tunnel as well as the Bluewater Shopping Complex and Ebbsfleet International station.
