  • The best taxi company for airport transfers in Gravesend is Astra Cars! (01474 745554). Cheaper than all the others AND you get to ride in a nearly new motor with leather seats AND a DVD (bring your own movies!!!!) Pity they don't do night clubs, but then why chuck up in a decent car when you can increase the value of a Skoda Octavia the same way?????
  • THE BEST THINGS ARE THE FIT GIRLS
  • skating... aaannddd.. thats it... destroy it now, before the chavs spread...
  • As it was in the 70's,proper shops,good parking,decent roads,and no asylum seekers. We seem to have a good refuse service,worth paying £140 council tax month for that!!!!!!!!!!

  • The fleet-staying up The thing near the marks and spencers,the sort of slide thing,made of wood,cos i used play on that when I was a wee nipper.Ofcourse i had to quit when I was too old for it,and my bum got stuck in it.
  • Gravesend is a pile of horse crap baked into a pie, there is nothing good about this sordid burg of bigamy.
  • Gotta be the prom when fair on when no pikeys around ... driving round cruising and the industrial estates!

  • IN GRAVESEND??????/ THERE ISNT EXACTLY NE FING GOOD HERE!
  • gnfc
  • Gravesend is often known for being the hottest temperature in the country because its on really low land. If youre looking to visit Gravesend then you may want to see the statue of Pocahontas, she was buried here at the St Georges church although they dont know where on the grounds. Gravesend has the oldest pier in the UK which is mentioned in Charles Dickens book. Gravesend has a great swimming pool Cascades and for the more serious swimmers Cygnet Leisure Centre in Northfleet. Gravesend has a french market once a year and festivals in the middle of town. Northfleet Train station is being changed into a stop for the Euro Star. Cliffe airport may built soon which will bring employment,many people disagree with the airport because of pollution and congestion, they also believe it will bring property value straight down.
  • the various events that go on down the prom in the summer..regattas, concerts etc.
  • Kevin Piece. May he and Ian One day return to the mecca that is the Buffolos Head. Chang
  • Nothing, apart from knowing that you're generally more intelligent than the people who surround you.

  • the best thing is if ur hungry u don have 2 go far...im sure theres more takeaways here than in ne other part of the uk...
  • the library in windmill street
  • URM....THE PROM?
  • How can you associate the word Gravesend with the word best - unless you mean best craphole.
  • SDT, Some Dumb teens vid
  • us!
  • The Terrace Pub, a proper boozer that serves good beer and smashing grub, not warmed up slop from a microwave. Maxfields fish and chip shop is brilliant with great mumsy waitresses in the upstairs restaurant. Coke Oven (Jolly Drayman) another top boozer. A lot's been done to make the town centre better - you should have been there 15 years ago when it was 100 times more grim.
  • BLUE CIRCLE
  • in life are free but you can save that for the birds and the bees I want " Starjump " http://www.geocities.com/olderthanvulgar
  • The Pilot, simply the best pub in Gravesend. Full of REAL people, and simply the best landlord in Gravesend, Al. I am canadian, and happened upon the pilot while travelling about 6 years ago, and have made many friends and had many laughs drinking in that pub when I return each year. Excellent pub.
  • The best thing I have ever done is leave Gravesend. It has gone downhill big time and the pikies have spoilt what used to be a nice place to live.
  • Cafe Taj
  • The Gravesend Girls (The non-pikey variety). WELL UP FOR IT!
  • Wherever you walk, you are within visual distance of a pub.
  • road out of gravesend.
  • WE LIKE THE WAY THE POLICE FORCE ARE SO CORRUPT THEY KILL THERE WHOLE FAMILY
  • The best thing about Gravesend is leaving!!
  • GET BEAT UP BY 14 YEAR OLD CHAVS AND THEIR MUMS AND DADS JUST FOR LOOKING ACROSS THE STREET.TYPICAL WEEKEND ENTERTAINMENT. WE LOVE IT
  • Three Daws Public House Lee's karoake - it's like sex in a song The bowling alley
  • sk8boarding in gravesend
  • SEX
  • Close to Bluewater
  • I know we have a big problem with Chavie’s and Pikie’s but, there are some fantastic people who live in this town and some are my friends and that why I always come back here. I have travelled the world and nowhere have I found a more colourful and eccentric crowd of people them the ones who live here. Keep up the good work, those of you who stay up all night jawing and partying, “You know who you are”.
  • near london and M25, so easy to get away from.
  • The Horny St Georges sixth form and present leavers.(2001)
  • The pubs, glorious pubs
  • theres lots of different places to go if your young
  • Cheap, available canabis! (poor quality, use at own risk!)
  • the local football team - forget the gills and charlton, give up manu you'll never go north of birmingham, go local, support a real team. plus, we're 2nd in the league. UP THE FLEET
  • Walking bout the streets wiv my White Lightning and all my mates wiv me!! thats a wwwwwwwweeeeelllllllllll good larf!!
  • paying over a £100 month council tax,it is a bargain,and we get a nice collection of pot holes in the roads for free!Still,we will no doubt see the m.p's soon as an election is looming.
  • The River in the summer
  • It is quiet and if I want to have a good time I just hop on over to Greenwich or London for a night out...Love Rumours. The trip back can be a real downer tho.
  • the RED LION, the VENUE and all the cool people who live in Gravesend, even though its an absolute shithole!
  • The Woodlands Massive - Boyakasha. You're cute but you still ain't proper chavs, guys! And Aaron Cleman according to Carly Bonfield!
  • Woodlands park...that is as good as it gets!
  • nowt, i moved the E.London 13 years ago and everyone said i was mad cos of how rough it is. Looking at gsend when i come to visit the folks i'd probably be a crackhead or inside by now !!!!!
  • I'll come back to that one!
  • Looking across the estury to Tilbury, and still thinking you could swim it, like you used to when you were a small child.
  • The new Harvester restaurant that just opened. They chose a GREAT location , right next to the Dickens. They've got all nice furniture and flowers & stuff. Didn't someone tell them the added features of their chosen area; knife sharpening , used syringes on tap and drugged up pikes in their masses.
  • Legends sports complex for 5 a side footy and Churchills
  • To name just a few... Harry's Brasserie, errm, Harry's Brasserie and..Harry's Brasserie. By the way no my name is NOT Harry, the owners called Colin. Figuresa, doesn't it? Actually we love the temperature - we're the hottest place in the country and we don't just mean the weather!!
  • There is nothing good about Gravesend.
  • Gravesend is not as bad as it sounds. The concert they do in the summer down the prom is always good for a laugh, and by the amount of people who turn out every year, I'm not the only one who thinks so!
  • THE BEST TAXI Co in gravesend is PHOENIX for local & long distance.AIRPORTS & CLUBS A SPECIALITY.They are Friendly+Reliable TEL 01474 355555 24Hrs
  • boys with their loud steoes and wicked cars. top one way race action every night the miramar takeaway with its "thug" delivery boys no girl ever says no. the blone barmaid in the Trochadero pub, better than the pocock pub
  • People. Rough, ready but ok. I've been out loads of times in Gravesend. People are not aggressive, just occasionally drunk & loud. Gravesend is the most unthreatening provincial town on a friday or saturday. Of course, this depends on where you are. Indian Restaurants. Gravesend girls (well up for it)
  • Hmmm. I hear the police are going to be patrolling heavily in Denton and on Kings Farm early on in Feb. They are also gonna be doing a lot of plain clothes work. About time too! Watch out thse burglars!!!
  • All the gippos everywhere you go.
  • Gravesend Rowing Club is on the promenade, and makes a walk down the prom interesting seeing people out in their flimsy little boats.
  • gravesend and northfleet footie club, the crappiest team ever, but if you want to go wierdo spotting, go there.
  • The ferry to Tilbury, I always visit this great little town by this service.
  • -Gravesend and Northfleet FC. Remember us Colchester? -My mates live there. -Thats about it really...
  • I'm biased because of the amount of time I lived there. However, there are some excellent fish and chip shops (checkout John's in Perry Street). The Railway Tavern was an excellent place to hang out during Euro 1996 (my last memory of Gravesend before my job forced me to up and move sticks to Surrey.
  • The under cover market with all sorts of wares, flags, games, junk in fact anything sems to be on sale there. It runs thro I think, from Pelham Rd to another street, but it's REAL interesting!
  • 1]The Prom 2]The people 3]Being near to London and also near to Margate!
  • Gravesend was, at one point, the town with the most pubs per square metre in England. Does anyone know anything about that?
