Swanley Village is a small village to the east of the town of Swanley in Kent. The village is the original Swanley and has suffered seeing its name stolen by the new-made town that grew up to the southwest.
Swanley Village was originally known as Swanley but with the arrival of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway line, specifically the junction between the Chatham Main Line and the Maidstone East Line to the west of the village, a new settlement grew up. This was called "Swanley Junction", but soon grew and became known as "Swanley", with the village thus becoming known as "Swanley Village".
The parish church is dedicated to St Paul.
The two local pubs are "The Lamb" and "The Red Lion".
