Knockholt Pound is a small, quiet hamlet in the district of Sevenoaks, Kent, England, sitting just outside the village of Knockholt on the fringe of the London commuter belt. It feels rural and leafy, with narrow lanes, scattered cottages and farmsteads that give a strong sense of place rather than a built‑up suburb.
The name hints at a historical animal pound and the area retains a lightly agricultural character alongside being largely residential; many residents commute into London via the nearby station while walkers make use of country routes close to the North Downs. Local life tends to centre on community activities and the surrounding countryside rather than on shops or industry, so it’s valued for tranquillity, views and easy access to both Kentish lanes and the capital.
