Dartford is a Kent town on the River Darent, historically located on the main route from London to Canterbury and Dover. It grew through market trade, paper mills, engineering and later industry along the Thames. The Dartford Crossing, linking Kent and Essex, made it one of the country’s most important road gateways. With rail links to London, Bluewater nearby and ongoing Thames Gateway growth, Dartford has a strong commuter rental market for families and professionals.
