Gravesend has one of the oldest markets in the country dating from 1268. And New Tavern Fort, built during the 1780s, is a great place to visit, with artillery on display and a network of underground tunnels to explore. Gravesend is also home to the Guru Nanak Temple – the largest Sikh Temple in Europe.

It has opened a lot of doors for me and given me more time to focus on the things I enjoy. There’s a great sense of community here. A few of the homeowners have a weekly ritual to visit one of the local pubs to have a meal out.
