Flimwell Park, Focal Building At Flimwell Park

Fantastic set of traffic lights, possible the best in Kent! Where to begin? Let’s start with location... They are the first set of lights you come to as you head southbound on the A21 from London. They are in fact exactly 24.1 miles from the M25. The sequence I hear you say... Heading South, Heading South with West filter lane, Heading North, Heading North with East filter lane, Heading West, Then last but not least heading East. Duration next! These clever little lights are variable lights depending on traffic. Be patient and enjoy your wait because during peak times you may be waiting up to 3 mins 50 seconds for your turn! Off peak this drops to 1 min 48 seconds between turns. If patience isn’t your thing then come at night as then they are controlled by radar and your wait will be minimum - often under 10 seconds. And no traffic light review wouldn’t be complete without some info for pedestrians... Good news there is a helpful green man / red man crossing on the North side of the crossroads. Again the wait it as above so be patient. Safety doesn’t have a holiday and neither do these lights. In the 7 years I’ve been lucky enough to use them they have never missed a beat, come rain or shine, snow or sleet they are shining there warm welcoming lights every day and every night. My children even used these very lights to learn about red for stop and green for go - they are a little young to get the point of Amber - although essentially I said it means the same as green! It is a dangerous fast crossing so if you do visit the lights, be careful and don’t dawdle. I would suggest parking in the The Royal Oak Pub car park which is a short 150 meter walk to view the lights. Stay safe.

Great place, well developed. A project carried out with an idea and, I believe, passion. Everywhere clean, fresh and tidy. You want to spend one night here, organize a conference, work on a project for a long time in peace and quiet, etc. ... all available at Filmwell Park. Everything is complemented by very original architectural solutions. The place is 100% recommendable, the most demanding customers should be satisfied.

I regularly attend classes and am a member of the Pottery Studio in the Park. The Birchwood restaurant offers interesting food, wonderful views and good coffee and worth the little extra in cost, in my view. There are charge points for electric cars. Recently, parking charges were introduced. There is a wonderful woods behind with walks and the Business Park itself has an interesting history. Well worth a visit.
