Business

As well as being a very historically important
and picturesque town, Westerham has a thriving
business community. Long famous for it’s
antique shops, the business base has expanded
greatly in the last decade.
The town is now a centre for lady’s fashion shops
and there are several of them in the town centre
selling clothing, shoes and accessories. While
visitors explore the shops in Westerham, they can
visit one of the twenty–one eating and drinking
establishments in the town. The fare on offer
ranges from the traditional pub selling food to the
French, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai and Turkish
eating places, as well as the traditional English tea
shops .

The traders and commercial
businesses in the
town have formed a Westerham Business Forum,
where matters of common interest are discussed,
and where plans are put in place designed to
make the town a pleasant place to live, and a
place to visit for those that come into the town
from elsewhere. Continual improvement of the
environment is the objective of the Business
Forum and plans are afoot to make events like the
special long shopping evenings into regular
events. Other events to make the Westerham visit
a memorable one will also be promoted from
time to time.
In all, Westerham is, and will continue to be a very
attractive place to come and shop, have a meal,
and take in the wonderfully picturesque
surroundings. This blend of the old and the
contemporary makes Westerham a special place.
