Gravesend, on the banks of the Thames, opposite Tilbury, there is a ferry connecting them.

The town is a popular commuter area, and commercial centre.

With weatherboarded houses the town reflects the river life. St George's church, 18th century, is worth a look, with windows commemorating the American Indian Princess Pocahontas who is buried in the churchyard. She saved the life of John Smith in Virginia and later married an Englishman.
