Dartford: River Crossing, Paper Mills, and Kent's Gateway to London
Dartford sits where the A2 (the old Roman Watling Street) crosses the River Darent before reaching the Thames. The Dartford Crossing, carrying the M25 across the Thames via tunnel and bridge, is one of the busiest river crossings in Europe. The town was known for paper manufacturing and engineering. J and E Hall, makers of refrigeration equipment, operated from Dartford for over a century. The population is around 57,000 for the town, with the wider Dartford borough at 110,000. Bluewater shopping centre, one of Europe's largest, sits just outside the borough boundary at Greenhithe.
Dartford station provides Southeastern services to London. The town centre is undergoing regeneration around the old market area. Ebbsfleet International, with High Speed 1 services to St Pancras (seventeen minutes), is three miles east. For adult companionship, Dartford is covered by Kent Police and governed by England and Wales criminal law.
