Gravesend, England
Cemetery Junction-on-Thames
"Where Your Journey Ends (Allegedly Just The Name)"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing the Royal Terrace Pier rampant against a Thames the colour of weak tea, flanked by two Ebbsfleet International passengers eternally waiting for a delayed Javelin service, beneath a banner reading 'Nomen Omen' ('the name says it all').
TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Came for the Pocahontas connection, stayed because my train back to London was cancelled for 'a person on the line' at the station of all places. The riverside promenade is genuinely lovely and the views of the Thames are a nice surprise, but the town centre itself feels like it's still waiting for someone to invest in it. Ate an average kebab near the market, saw three stag dos, and left slightly confused why a town with such a dramatic name is mostly quite sleepy."— BargeSpotter_Brenda, Tilbury
