 | | Gravesend and Northfleet, the towns at the heart of the Borough, have much to offer visitors, residents and businesses alike. |
 | | In the early 19th century, Gravesend was a favourite tourist attraction for Londoners, with a very pleasant riverfront, which included a beach, onto the busy Thames and a number of pleasure gardens, including Windmill Hill, which offers unrivalled views of the estuary, and surrounding countryside. |
 | | Gravesend grew rapidly during the reign of Queen Victoria, when businesses capitalised on a lucrative tourist boom in the town. |
