Welcome

Welcome to the enchanted world of Hoppers. The building has stood for 400 years set among the hop fields of Kent, in the village of Five Oak Green near Tonbridge. Originally it was a row of farm cottages. It is now comfortably furnished to provide a bolt-hole for use by charities operating in East London.
