About

Gravesend Town sits on the south bank of the River Thames in the Borough of Gravesham, centred on the High Street and the riverside. The town pier, built in 1834, is the oldest surviving cast-iron pier and marks the start of the riverside walkway. A passenger ferry still crosses to Tilbury at scheduled times, linking the quay with the opposite bank. St George’s Church stands close to the water; a marble plaque there records the burial of Pocahontas in 1617, a fact reflected in local street names and memorials nearby.

Rail and bus services connect the town to neighbouring communities and London, with the station a short walk from shops and civic services. Market stalls, pubs and small businesses line the High Street while converted warehouses and former industrial sites meet the waterfront. New Tavern Fort and adjacent promenades host maritime displays and community events. The town combines river-facing infrastructure, local retail and municipal services, serving residents and visitors who come for the quay, the market and the layers of local history.
