Medway is located in Kent in the South East of the UK. London is around 40–50 minutes away by train, making it quick and easy to travel into the capital. 

Medway also has good access to major airports. Gatwick Airport is about 45–60 minutes by car or around 1 hour 30 minutes by train, while Heathrow Airport is roughly 1 hour 30 minutes by car or around 2 hours by train.

The towns of Chatham, Gillingham, and Rochester are developing vibrant arts and cultural scenes. At the same time, the surrounding countryside and coastline offer plenty of space to relax and explore, giving you the best of both worlds.
