A new waterside village

At Victory Pier, the architecture has been designed to reflect the rich nautical history of the naval dockyards that lined the River Medway. Maritime influences abound, both in the use of the materials – steel, glass and timber – and in the colours – white render with blue detailing – while the design of the balconies was inspired by dockside cranes of yesteryear and the timber seating and handrails are tactile reminders of life on the ocean.

On the quayside, new attractions have been planned that will add to the area’s wealth of historic landmarks. The LV21 lightship, a new floating art gallery that is permanently moored at Victory Pier, will soon be joined by the paddle steamer Medway Queen, the last estuary pleasure steamer surviving in the United Kingdom, which is currently being restored.

Enjoy a more relaxed way of living

VICTORY PIER, WHERE CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE, A BUSTLING WATERFRONT AND SOME GREAT CAFĂ&#x2030;S AND RESTAURANTS ARE PLANNED TO CREATE THE PERFECT PLACE TO RELAX. Superbly located on a bustling stretch of the River Medway, Victory Pier delivers the perfect place to enjoy waterside living. The newly refurbished pier, which will be flanked by exciting new bars and restaurants, will provide a vibrant setting in which to socialise. Alternatively, you can escape from the lively atmosphere and relish the tranquillity of riverside walks or the sanctuary of your own apartment. Whether you fall asleep to the gentle lapping of waves against the boats in the marina, idle an hour away watching ships docking at the port or simply delighting in the ever-changing vista, rain or shine, there is always something to enjoy when you live next to water.

Excellent commuter links

THE CITY

W h 34 itsta m ble in s C an 39 ter m bur in y s

A recently introduced high-speed rail link ensures that commuting to London is effortless, with journey times to St. Pancras an incredible 40 minutes, while Canary Wharf and Victoria are just a few stops further on. It’s worth noting that Stratford, home of the 2012 Olympics, is just over half an hour away from Victory Pier. In addition, Paris and Brussels are both easily reached via Ebbsfleet, which is on the direct line from Chatham to London. Road users are equally catered for, with the nearby A2 providing easy access to the M2, M25 and beyond. Bluewater is just a short drive away and Gatwick is under an hour away by car.

DLR

With fast transport links to both London and the Kent coast – and mainland Europe via the Eurostar from Ebbsfleet – the Medway waterfront is an ideal base for both work and play.
