Dartford is an ideal commuter town, lying on the borders of Kent and Greater London but conveniently placed for London and the many beautiful attractions and countryside of North Kent.
Around 250,000 years ago, a tribe of prehistoric hunter-gatherers settled in the area. The settlement continued to grow and was given the name, Dartford, during the construction by the Romans of the London to Dover road. Dartford gained prowess as a market town and waypoint for Christians making their pilgrimages to Canterbury. In the 14th century, a priory was erected and the Dominican and the Franciscan friars built hospitals for the town’s sick.
