About

Kettering Central East sits immediately east of the Market Place and links the main shopping streets with the town’s railway station on Station Road. Retail units, cafés and local services line the approach to the station, and the area functions as a transit corridor for commuters. Kettering railway station is on the Midland Main Line with direct services to London St Pancras and regional destinations; trains and bus routes shape movement through the area. The town market still trades in the Market Place on Thursdays and Saturdays, concentrating footfall toward the east side of the centre.

Housing in Central East is a mix of Victorian terraces, mid-20th-century terraces and a handful of later developments, with small parks and community greens tucked between streets. Public facilities such as the town library and civic offices are within easy walking distance, and local schools and clubs use halls and pitches close to the centre. Day-to-day life here is oriented around short trips to shops, rail travel and regular market days rather than large-scale visitor attraction.
