LOCATION
The Charter is part of Gravesend’s exciting and sustainable regeneration in the heritage quarter, with new apartments designed to complement wider improvements to local retail, leisure and work spaces.
Kent’s best
kept secret
Gravesend’s cobbled High Street is full of independent shops, artisan makers, and inviting tea and tap rooms. The town also loves a celebration, hosting annual events like Vaisakhi, the Light Festival, and the River Festival.
Bang in Town
Outside your front door is Gravesend - home to one of Kent’s oldest Chartered Borough Markets, a gem that dates back to 1268 and is today at the centre of a thriving food and social scene.
For entertainment, there’s Kent’s top-rated escape room or the BMX and cycling facilities at the Cyclopark. Excellent sports amenities are also available at the Cascades and Cygnet leisure centres.
Direct to London
High-speed trains offer a swift 23-minute journey into St. Pancras station by King’s Cross, or a 15-minute train into Stratford where you have a Westfield, the ABBA Arena, and a world-class Olympic swimming pool.
