About

Chatham South East is a residential area situated on the southern edge of Medway's urban centre. It is primarily characterised by post-war housing estates and terraced homes, with a mix of private and social housing. The area is bounded by the A230 to the west and the railway line to the north, creating a distinct neighbourhood feel. Local amenities are focused along Luton Road and Magpie Hall Road, providing essential shops and services for the community.

The geography includes gentle slopes leading towards the River Medway, though direct river access is limited. A notable local feature is the presence of the Chatham Intra tidal flood basin, a large engineered water management system integrated into the landscape. Open spaces include the playing fields at St John Fisher Catholic Comprehensive School and smaller local parks, offering recreational space within this densely built-up part of the town.
