Student Life in Chatham

Chatham Overview


Chatham is a small town located in the south east of England in Kent, the town was developed around the Chatham dockyard as well as a range of army barracks. Since the dockyards closure in 1984 it has since seen a major revival, the dock is now a popular tourist destination, with some of the dockyard becoming a commercial port with the rest of the site now being used for business and residential use. Just a short 1 mile walk from the town centre you will find the Rochester Castle, built in 1087 the castle has been a talking point of the towns that surround it for many years and is currently an English heritage site. The castle is available to visit so that you can see what a castle looks like from the inside, but prices vary so make sure you book in advance. There are two shopping centres in the town centre with both of them offering a wide range of shops as well as several different food retailers in the food court. Chatham has one cinema with several screens to make sure you do not miss any of the new Hollywood blockbusters.
