The local area
The location of Chatham close to England’s North Sea coast and the Thames estuary means that it has long held strategic significance; the area has seen numerous fortifications built including Upnor Castle, Fort Amherst, Fort Pitt, Fort Luton, Fort Bridgewood and Fort Borstal. Chatham has been a market town since the 19th century, and benefits from the pleasant hills and the North Downs that lie in the near vicinity, in addition to its proximity to London.
Chatham is a great option for commuters, with the capital city just 40 minutes away thanks to high speed train links; slower services take around 10 minutes more. The M2 motorway passes to the south and west of town, linking Chatham to regions further southeast, and turning into the A2 towards London to the west. The M20 is also close by, providing access to the M25 along with the A2.
There are some excellent schools in the area for families with children to take into account, with primary options including St Thomas More RC Primary, All Saints CofE and Tunbury Primary in Walderslade.
