Southfleet is a small compact village five miles SW of Gravesend in Kent; although it is a civil parish within Dartford Borough. The village is grouped around a crossroads and many of its buildings, including the Ship Inn, are extremely old. The parish church of St Nicholas has 14th century origins, although pre-Roman Christian remains have been found in the area.
The village had a railway station before the mid-1950s, on the Farningham Road - Gravesend West branch line. The trackbed of that closed line has now been utilised for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link line to London Waterloo.
