Welcome to Kent
Kent is steeped in history and heritage and is also rightly renowned throughout the world as the Garden of England. Our extensive coastline boasts an envious array of blue flag award winning beaches and thrilling watersports activities.
It's easy to visit Kent in England's south east corner, just 35 minutes from central London on Southeastern's new high speed rail link. Once here, you can stay carbon friendly and visit much of Kent by train including the county's iconic landmarks such as Canterbury Cathedral, Leeds Castle and the White Cliffs of Dover.
Living and working in Kent
Living and working in Kent offers opportunities that are not available anywhere else. Where else could you live or work and be able to have breakfast in France but be back home comfortably in time for lunch? Where else offers you the bright lights and bustling atmosphere of London, but is always within easy distance of some of the most scenic countryside and villages in the country? Why not have the best of both worlds and consider working in Kent.
Sport and LeisureFor sport and leisure opportunities Kent offers a variety of facilities. From gentle strolls enjoying the varying landscapes to be found along our long stretch of coastline to the heart-stopping pace of motorsports found at Brands Hatch. Kent has great shopping facilities to offer along with restaurants, bar and pubs to cater for everyone.
TransportExcellent transport links makes Kent attractive in terms of keeping in contact with family and friends living outside of Kent. The London orbital (M25) provides easy access to the main motorways in the United Kingdom. Rail links are constantly improving particularly with the Ashford International Station and other rail links that run direct to London and the main rail lines that operate from there. For those visiting Kent, no matter how you choose to travel and from any direction, it is easily accessible.
