Key terms
Rochester is a town rich in history and charm, famously connected to Charles Dickens, who lived locally and featured the area in many of his novels. The town embraces its literary heritage with the Dickens Festival, one of several themed events held throughout the year along its characterful cobbled high street. The High Street itself is very popular, offering a mix of independent shops, Rustic cafés, highly regarded restaurants, and traditional pubs - all contributing to the town’s unique atmosphere. Towering above the riverside landscape are the stunning Rochester Cathedral and Castle, positioned at a picturesque bend of the River Medway. Rochester also benefits from modern riverside developments, enhancing its appeal for both lifestyle and commuting. The newly built Rochester station provides High Speed rail services to Stratford International in just 30 minutes, St Pancras International in 38 minutes, and London Victoria in 52 minutes. The A2 and M2 are both within 5 miles, while the M20 and M25 can be reached in approximately 10 miles, offering excellent road access across the South East. The popular Bluewater Shopping Centre is also easily accessible via the A2, offering a wide range of retail, dining, and leisure options.
