Chatham lies at the heart of Medway and, as its city centre, has acquired an increasingly vital role in the economic development and prosperity of Medway.

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 (www.chathamworldheritage.org.uk). Close by and just 1.24 miles (2km) from the town centre is the Dockside Outlet Centre (www.docksideshopping.co.uk) - 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 Woolworths. These and many more can be found in the Pentagon shopping centre (www.dunedinproperty.co.uk/documents/Chatham.pdf) and in the pedestrianised High Street.
