About

Northwood ward lies on the northwestern edge of the town of Margate, forming a largely residential suburb. The area is characterised by streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, along with more modern developments. It contains several local shopping parades providing everyday services, with Northwood Road serving as a central commercial artery. The ward includes the grounds of Hartsdown Park, home to Margate Football Club.

The residential streets extend towards the boundary with Cliftonville, with a mix of housing types and densities. Green spaces include the smaller parks and recreation grounds scattered throughout the neighbourhood. The ward's proximity to central Margate means it is well-connected by local bus routes. A defining local landmark is the distinctive, historic water tower situated near Hartsdown Park, a prominent feature in the area's skyline.
