You are now entering Gravesend - Gravesend - TravBuddy

You may notice as you enter Gravesend a large brown tourist sign saying 'Riverside Heritage Town'. The only part of this sign that holds any relevance to Gravesend is the lavatorial conotations of the colour. You may also be startled by the large plume of black smoke coming from the usually stolen and joyridden cars that litter the area.
One of the biggest attractions is the site of Pocahontas' burial...somewhere under the St Georges Shopping Centre. Her original burial site was lost when St George's Church burned down in 1727, a fire that consumed a large portion of Gravesend. Obviously and unfortunatley they decided to rebuild the town.
The shopping centre itself boasts at least twenty whole shops, including an Argos, and a slide. Argos is a popular shop in Gravesend, and where most Chavs (there you go, i said it) buy their jewellery. Sometimes they splash the cash and buy some 'gold' chain from B&Q's garden section too.
There is also Gravesend clock tower on Harmer Street, which is at a shameful waste at present as most of the population either struggle to tell the time on an ordinary clock, or cannot tell the time at all.
In Gravesend we also have the mountainous region known as Windmill Hill, the highest point in Gravesend at the dizzying height of all of 179 ft (55m) above the high water mark. As the name cleverly suggests, there are NO windmills on the hill, but an abundance of heroin users at night. The place to go if you are a scaghead.
Things to include in your travel pack:
-Hunting knife - protection
-Any antiseptic in case you tread on a used hypodermic needle
-Darenth Valley Hospital address - Gravesend hospital is just as risky as crawling on your belly with your flies open over a sea of hypodermic needles
-A map clearly displaying the fastest route out and away from wherever you are in Gravesend
-Bear Grylls or Chris Ryan. If you can't get hold of them try any SAS operative or extreme survivalist (I'm afraid this does not include Ray Mears who would be eaten alive by Dirty Ethel; the 'mature courtesan'/resident tramp)
