About

Princes ward lies in the northern part of Dartford, bordering the River Thames. Its area includes the industrial and commercial zones of the Dartford Marshes, a low-lying landscape historically shaped by river industries. The ward contains the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, a major component of the Dartford Crossing, which dominates the skyline. Large retail parks and logistics centres are prominent features of the local economy here.

Residential areas are primarily located around the settlement of Stone, which provides local amenities. Housing consists mainly of post-war developments and some older terraced homes. The ward is traversed by major road links like the A206 and the M25 motorway, which converge near the crossing. Open space is provided by Central Park, one of the borough's largest recreational areas, situated near the ward's southern boundary.
