Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward - Hayes Sales

Tucked away in a corner of the borough of Bromley, a stroll through Hayes town centre can quite easily feel like you’ve slipped back in time. Whether you’re taking in the wonderful views from the brow of West Wickham Common or enjoying a comforting meal at one of Hayes’s traditional pubs, the bustle of the nearby city feels a world away. Adding to the town’s gorgeous antiquatedness is the Village – often known as ‘Old Hayes’ – with its 13th century Church of St Mary The Virgin and Grade II listed Old Rectory. The rest of the town is newer, with modern boutiques and trendy cafes. It’s precisely this inhabiting of two worlds, old and new, which lures such a variety of people to Hayes. Retired couples are drawn to the relaxed way of life and strong community, centred around Hayes Village Hall, while families and commuters take advantage of the beautiful commons, attractive property market and good transport links into Cannon Street and Charing Cross.
