Gravesend, Market town in Kent, England.

Located on the south bank of the River Thames, Gravesend features numerous historic piers and independent shops along its traditional High Street.

The town received its market charter in 1268 from King Henry III, with the market remaining one of the oldest continuously operating in England.

St George's Arts Centre, the Fourth Portal, and the LV21 light ship form the core of Gravesend's contemporary art and performance spaces.

High-speed trains connect Gravesend to London St Pancras in 24 minutes, while Thames Clipper boats provide river transportation services.

The remains of Pocahontas rest at St George's Church, following her death in Gravesend in March 1617 during her journey back to Virginia.
