Chislehurst Common

It is jointly managed with St Paul's Cray Common.

Cricket is still played on Chislehurst Common as the Chislehurst and West Kent Cricket Club has its ground in the south-west corner of the common on Cricket Ground Road.

[1] The earliest known use of Chislehurst Common for top-class cricket was in July 1738 when Chislehurst played London in a game that "turned several times" until finally being won by London.

[3] It was the intended venue for a Kent side to play London match on 26 June 1741 that was rained off.

The Common was used in 1752 when a Kent side played a Surrey team[4] although it was used occasionally for cricket during the 19th and 20th centuries.
