Gravesend

Gravesend has always had an important role to play in the history and communications of this part of England because of its geographical position. It still retains a strong link with the river today. Located minutes from Bluewater, Europe's largest and most innovative retail destination, Gravesend is the closest major town to the new Ebbsfleet Eurostar Terminal. Eurostar services run to Paris and Brussels from the station and their London St Pancras station. The Channel Tunnel Rail Link, runs a domestic service operating to and from Gravesend and other parts of North and East Kent into London St Pancras terminals.

Northfleet

The town of Northfleet dates as far back as Roman times, so there is plenty of history to explore. Its location by the River has meant that industry and trade have played a significant role in the town’s history which, over the years, has produced cement, paper and metals.
