Gravesend

Coordinates: 51°26′29″N 0°22′07″E / 51.4415°N 0.3685°E / 51.4415; 0.3685 Gravesend /ˌɡreɪvzˈɛnd/ is a town in northwest Kent, England, on the south bank of the Thames, opposite Tilbury in Essex.

The opening of the international railway station immediately west of the town at Ebbsfleet Valley, the arrival of High Speed train services to and from Gravesend railway station itself, and the town's position in the Thames Gateway, have all added to the town's importance.
