Let’s start with the biggie: getting to London. Gravesend is slap-bang on the high-speed line, meaning you can be at St Pancras in under 25 minutes. Yes, you read that right—twenty-five minutes. That’s less time than it takes to decide what to watch on Netflix.
But here’s the catch: trains can be packed like a sardine can at rush hour, and if there’s a leaf on the track, you’ll feel the pain. Still, when the service works, it’s glorious. You get city wages without the city rent—hello, extra takeaway money.
