Chatham
Chatham lies at the heart of Medway and has acquired
a
n
increasingly vital role in its economic development and
prosperity.
Its most famous attraction is the Historic Dockyard, dating back
more than 400 years to the age of sail. Today it is one of the
world’s most important maritime heritage destinations and a
prospective World Heritage Site.
Close by and just 1.24 miles (2km) from the town centre is the
Dockside Outlet Centre, a
15,000m2 designer outlet centre at Chatham Maritime.
There is plenty more to see and do in Chatham, including a wide
range of shopping, leisure facilities and buildings of great
architectural importance. These include The Central and
Brook Theatres, both offering a diverse mixture of cultural and
family entertainment for residents and visitors.
As Medway’s premier shopping centre, Chatham has an excellent
choice of brand-name stores to choose from, including Boots,
Debenhams, Primark, TK Maxx, Body Shop and Tesco. These and many
more can be found either in the Pentagon shopping
centre or in and around the pedestrianised High Street.
Located in the heart of Chatham, the Pentagon shopping centre
extends a warm welcome to shoppers. It has nearly 100 shops,
restaurants, cafés, a bowling alley, ladies’ fitness centre and

own multi-storey car park boasting some 670 parking spaces, a bus
station and is ideally situated within easy walking distance of
