Took train to Sevenoaks changing at Orpington. There was a steep climb up into the town but a latte helped.
We saw several deer before we reached the visitor centre. The house was interesting but many of the room were dark because of the dark wood and to conserve the delicate fabrics. The gardens were very interesting, they are only open on Tuesdays during the summer. The flower gardens had splashes of colour and the vegetable garden was very formal with privet hedges and lawns.

After a light lunch we walked through the deer park. The grounds extend for miles and we came across several groups of deer. Most were in small groups of does and fawns but we came across a stag with large antlers.

The walk back to the station was fortified by a Shepherd Neames Spitfire bitter and we came back via Blackfriars to see the new station which has entrances on both sides of the Thames. The concourse and circulating areas are excellent, well signposted and easy to use.
Dinner was at an Indian restaurant not very good.
