The region stretches from Chichester in the west up as far as Aldershot, covers parts of south London and includes all of the counties of Kent, Surrey, East Sussex and West Sussex. The South East regional office has been located for more than 20 years at Bank Buildings, Heathfield in East Sussex, about 15 miles south of Tunbridge Wells.
