The area around Rochester.
Rochester is a historic cathedral town on the Medway, with a Norman castle, a Dickensian high street full of independent shops, and festivals that draw visitors throughout the year. It sits within the larger Medway towns, where Chatham, Gillingham and Strood run together. Customers do not always distinguish between the towns, so firms usually cover all of them. Visitor businesses need current information, while trades should name Strood, Borstal and Frindsbury.
Inside Medway, the closest places are Chatham (1 mile) and Gillingham (4 miles). Just over the council boundary, Snodland (5 miles), Gravesend (7 miles), Northfleet (8 miles) and West Malling (8 miles) are close by. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.
Inside Rochester, the site can name areas such as Strood, Borstal, Frindsbury, Wainscott, Warren Wood, Delce and Cuxton.
From our base in Exeter, Rochester is about 181 miles to the east. Its postcodes start ME.
