Centrally located, served by excellent public transport links. A unique opportunity to be in the very heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells. Royal Tunbridge Wells occupies a strategic location between London, Brighton and the continent in the heart of the Kent and Sussex Weald. The Town came into being over 400 years ago following the discovery of the Chalybeate Spring and enjoyed its heyday as a fashionable resort in the mid-1700s when it attracted visitors who wished to 'take the waters'. Tunbridge Wells Borough Council (TWBC) is inviting suitably experienced and skilled interested parties, to take a lease of some 19,800 ft2 (to be agreed) of office accommodation within the Town Hall, Tunbridge Wells, for the operation and provision of a co-working operation.
