About this location
Original narrow cobbled lanes leading to 18th-century waterfront brick warehouses and cottages make this a historic riverside wharf filming location in Kent. Wharfs, piers and floating piers, houseboats, a timber-framed cast-iron chandlery store, tidal mud and river birds, and wonderful north-facing light with views across the river to dockyards and industrial activity suit period drama, feature films, commercials, music videos and fashion photoshoots.
